If one were to find life in 1400℃ heat, one must be lost is Paul Stankard’s mystical world. The perfection in which exquisite detail is put on display makes it difficult for one to differentiate between reality and illusion. Are the bees and flowers really alive? The ability to express vitality in a completely uninhabitable environment puts one even more in awe of his miraculous skills. The magical world of natural beauty, the magical world of glass, the magical world of human understanding – these are the key reasons why Stankard’s work has been widely collected by noted museums worldwide.
