Stanley Szwarc's brilliance comes across in every object he makes, their facets reflecting the complexity of his artistic vision as much as they do the light. In the dozen or so years since he starting piecing together scraps collected at the machine shop where he works, Szwarc has made thousands of boxes, vases, crosses, key fobs, earrings and other objects, no two alike. A musician and bookkeeper before he emigrated from Poland, Szwarc is diffident about his talent, but there is no mistaking the creativity behind his flights of ornamentation.
After a difficult year in which his workshop was destroyed by fire, Szwarc is finally able to produce art again. One hopes he will finally gain the recognition he deserves, taking his place alongside the acknowledged self-taught masters.
These pages include samples of his vases, boxes and other pieces.
