I just discovered the work of Thomas Doyle and I am almost tempted to make a trip up to the Bay area to catch his show Forces of Nature at the Limn Gallery. In his words, “My work mines the debris of memory through the creation of intricate worlds sculpted in 1:43 scale and smaller.”
My on-going obsession with dioramas as an art medium is further fueled by Cathryn Barmon’s Nature is Sculpture series. Her concept was born from the challenge of designing a living space of only 600 square feet, and after a trip to Japan, she was inspired and fascinated by Japanese landscape design. I love the idea of a floating landscape that offers up peaceful & serene views not normally found looking out an urban window. The dioramas are available by order from the artist.
I have always loved dioramas. Something about creating a miniature world with infinite detail and housing it behind glass endlessly appeals to me. When I found this very tiny pastoral diorama at Small Stump, I just had to have it. Check out their site, they create very fresh, affordable art.
This life-long fascination of mine with dioramas and miniature landscapes is fueled by discovering these organic shaped, modern terrariums by artists Paula Hayes and Lauren of Lítill. The combination of the hand blown glass vessels and the miniature desert landscapes are nothing short of delightful. I really wish I had enough light inside my house to successfully upkeep one of these. See much, much more at their websites. The first two photos are from Paula Hayes and the last two are by Lítill.
I am so heading to the POVevolving Gallery this week to see this wonderful installation of recent sculptures/urban dioramas by Jeremy Mora and a collaborative installation with Robert Reynolds.
