Textural Orb, Turquoise

A perfect sphere rendered in enamel-finished aluminum, the Textural Orb by John Richard commands attention through restraint — its turquoise surface articulating light with a quiet, almost meditative richness. At four inches in every dimension, it occupies space with the assurance of something far larger, proof that scale and presence are never the same thing. It belongs equally to the composed vignette and the considered collector's shelf, a small sculpture that asks to be noticed slowly.
