Flume

Celebrating the playful potential of scale, the works from Richard’s first Piccolo series exude a magic often associated with talismans. Crafted from white Carrara marble, Flume stands under 20 inches tall and serves as a compelling reminder that wonder can be conjured at any scale. In Italian, “piccolo” means petite or young—full of energy and movement, Flume embodies the vibrant spirit of possibility. While its form suggests promise, its material is ancient. This interplay of the past and future evokes the vastness of geologic time, encapsulating a universe within a single “piccolo” piece of marble. It is rare and precious.
