An indoor miniature golf course. So what happens to this stuff? Did the owner just leave it all here, or does it belong to the mall?
I like the idea of a miniature golf course in a mall, especially at $5 a round (assuming 18 holes). However, if the foot traffic isn't there, the business will fail.
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.
In Miniature World I found myself in the usual awe of looking for something to sketch among the plenty.

I've had these miniature Pepsi bottles and paper carrying case since I was a kid and I don't remember where I got them or who gave them to me. The bottles measure just a tad under 2.5 inches tall.

Very miniature - only a few badland hills - still an interesting area to wander through... Being mid-October very quiet, had the place to myself...
My weekend road trip, Calgary to Grande Prairie (northern Alberta) and back, taking a few unorthodox driving routes... And taking extra days on either side of the weekend, to take in a few more sights...
This is an intermediate picture of our latest minatures project for our miniatures club- it is a 10" round vignette that can be viewed from both sides and is a "wall" that separates an interior from an exterior.
Here is a (blurry) closeup of the paper clay exterior as I finished modeling it. Once it dries, I will paint it. This project was supposed to be a way for me to demonstrate the paper clay technique to our other members, but no one really went along and followed all of the steps the way I was taught by miniaturist Rik Pierce, so no one's looks like mine.
