These small dioramas draw the viewer in to investigate more closely scenes that are at once enchanting and disturbing.  There is a tension created between our expectation of pristine icy worlds and that of menacing man-made forms silently occupying their space.  While the animals seem to ignore and adapt to intrusions the boundary separating appealing miniature and harsh reality dissolves.  Deep down we know the two cannot easily co-exist.  

Nature is reconstructed on these floating islands recreating an experience of natural habitats that has become increasingly illusory. Recycled materials please us with their “cute” reincarnation but remind us of the inevitability of change and the perishable nature of our own humanity.
