Tony Fey's Crossing

Tony Fey's Crossing arrives as a work of considerable scale and tactile complexity, its 41 by 71.5 inch composition built from an unlikely congress of metal, nails, fabric, thread, glass, and wood — each element summoned into a singular, resolved whole by the hand of John Richard's artisans. The silver champagne finish lends the surface a luminous, restrained warmth, catching light in the manner of antique foil or burnished textile, shifting subtly as the viewer moves. At two inches deep, it reads as both painting and relief, occupying that refined territory between decorative object and fine art. A statement of handmade conviction, it brings architectural presence and quiet drama to any interior ambitious enough to receive it.
