I was looking for a piece of wood that would speak to me and present me with a heart. I found this piece of burl that had a large hump in it. I tried to imagine how to make a heart out of it and thought, if I could create a reflection, it will be my heart. It had a very large cavity in it and thought, what a perfect area to fill with epoxy and add some red to the piece. This piece can be a center piece for a table or comes with a French cleat (hanging mechanism) to mount this to a wall. The only real way to see the heart is to view it in the mirror. I love the symbolism of this.I believe this wood is burl cherry. It is large, 16×16 x 24”Yearly, I donate a piece of art to the Memphis Child Advocacy “Works of Heart” art auction. This year it is virtual, so anyone can bid on this. https://www.memphiscac.org/worksofheart/The auction is online from Feb 7-14 via the link above.
