Paul Stankard creates meticulously detailed paperweights and sculptures inspired by nature. Captivated by the cycle of life and death, Stankard's experimentation and artistic challenge gradually led him to begin creating tiny mystical root people hidden within the root structure of his arrangements. This is Stankard's first work to incorporate a root figure, which makes it quite significant.
