I love miniature things. For as long as I can remember I have been facinated by the pitted faces of stone or crummbling brick walls. In the gaps between stones, I imagine worlds unfolding. The difference in scale forces us to peer, to gaze, removed from what we see, inherently distant in spite of physicall proximity, and yet utterly focused. This is the inspiring power of the small to absorbe the viewer and turn them into a reader of the space. (One of the best exploitations of this that I have seen in recent years was the absolutly captivating Miniature Worlds Show.) The act of making in miniature mirrors the act of view, an act of physical consentration unfolding an internal space. |
