MINIATURES
This series documents the ‘miniatures’ created by my Grandmother. I aimed to capture these tiny shops, markets, pubs and dwellings in a way that may evoke feelings of nostalgia and give insight into ‘how we used to live’, many of her miniature set ups represent a bygone era, home baked bread and tables set for family meals are for many now a thing of the past.
The collection of photographs may appear to be similar to those from a tourist trip, like a record of the places I have visited, and some will look like images from inside a home, holding childhood memories. However the photos explore the years my Gran has dedicated to inventing and constructing another world. I wanted to create a series of images that is playful and could tell a make-believe story but also delves into the idea of memory and loss.
