 Bill Finger | People have always found scale models fascinating, whether they are the dollhouses, trucks, and trains of childhood, or the pricey ship and plane replicas gracing many grown-up shelves. In recent years, a small group of contemporary photographers has explored the special qualities of the world in miniature, building and then photographing their own tiny stage sets, often with very dramatic and intriguing results. Two excellent examples of such work are now on view, by sheer coincidence, in neighboring galleries in Pioneer Square. KUOW art critic, Gary Faigin, joins us with his observations on these two related, but very different exhibitions. |
