Paul Mergen written by Gabriel Craig

Paul Mergen, Coppersmith

I found a wonderful review by Gabriel Craig about a retrospective exhibit of my college metals instructor Paul Mergen.   My car broke down on the day of the opening so I missed it completely... I was rescued by GVSU metals instructor Beverly Seley, but that's another story!  I am so grateful to see Gabriel's article/review!!  Paul Mergen is such a wonderful and generous person and he is also one of my absolute favorite teachers.  His work is a fascinating combination of aesthetics reminiscent of Native American Culture with a nod to the styling of Alexander Calder.  Gabriel Craig wrote this article for Art Jewelry Forum.
