This striking mixed-media sculpture, "Emerald Explosion," is a masterful fusion of raw geological wonder and refined artisan craft. Signed by the artist John David, the piece stands as a testament to the rugged beauty of the Pacific Northwest.


• Foundation: The sculpture is anchored by a rare multiple shades of green, and quartz laced  rock, with faint touches of light yellow that blends beautifully with the top sculptured Burl piece.  This native  stone is sourced from the Oregon mountains, providing a grounding of authentic natural history.

• The Ascent: A custom-forged iron rod rises from the base, meticulously shaped to transition from a rugged tree stump into the reaching limbs of a tall tree.

• The Canopy: The piece culminates in a spectacular Maple Burl, where the wood's intricate, swirling grain is "explosively" lanced with emerald resin. The translucent resin highlights the burl’s natural voids, creating a luminous interplay of light and texture.


It is extremely rare when a piece of this caliber is made available to the market. 


This is a truly rare find. That is a stand alone focal point piece for any high end collection, or entry way home presentation piece.
