Homage to James Joyce

Paul J. Stankard , 2007 , Decorative Arts

This glass botanical piece by American artist Paul J. Stankard is small but is able to achieve such detail and color. The glass flower with its delicate bloom and greenery, is a potato flower. In the bottom right corner of the piece, inside a sliced potato, is a miniature portrait of James Joyce.
