Miniature dioramas by Thomas Doyle

I’m no snow globe fan but there’s a lot to be said for Thomas Doyle’s detailed and imaginative miniature dioramas.

I’m no good at describing art, so I’m going to quote directly from the New York-based artist himself;

The pieces’ radically reduced scales evoke feelings of omnipotence—as well as the visceral sensation of unbidden memory recall. Hovering above the glass, the viewer approaches these worlds as an all-seeing eye, looking down upon landscapes that dwarf and threaten the figures within.

I kinda agree. It’s weird (in a good way) to peer down from above and look at the fate of these little figures. It’s almost like the SIMs – except real – except not.
