Recently a unique opportunity to create a series of five marble sculptures came by commission for a Whipple Russell Architects project in Indian Wells, California-Richard’s second collaboration with Marc Whipple. This remarkable suite of new works – Spira, ArêteAria, Odyssey, Aurora –represents a vivid cross-section of the possibilities of white Carrara marble, creating an enriched experienced of the interior and exterior environments of the property.
