Here is a link to something I created over the last few days. Maple Burl in cases in acrylic, to create a world thats masquerades as a Bottle Stopper. Its what I call a collectors edition. Take a look you have never seen anything like it.... https://www.etsy.com/listing/151 758998/clear-maple-bottle-stopper-collector
From my mind as a black man living in modern American social ills. Gerard Merchant was born in 1959 in Lynchburg, Virginia. My works are primarily in wood sculpture. My sculptures emerge through a process of retakes and variations that mark my creative journey of examining the ambiguity between my vision, and the wood’s already exquisite origination. As I execute unclear and less formal rules and which should always reference the partnership with Nature, we create Art.
