Windswept Waltz Sculpture on Marble, Nickel III

A sinuous figure caught mid-movement, the Windswept Waltz Sculpture renders its subject in nickel-finished metal, the cool luminosity of the finish lending the piece an almost mercurial quality against the weight of its marble base. At seventeen and a half inches tall, the composition achieves a considered verticality — slender enough to inhabit a console or library shelf without imposing, yet sufficiently present to anchor a curated vignette. Stone and metal in quiet dialogue, the grounding solidity of the base and the upward sweep of the figure together speak to the enduring conversation between stillness and motion that defines the finest decorative objects. A refined gesture from John Richard, and one that rewards the eye at every angle.
