Surreal Miniature Worlds in Everyday Objects

Kendal Murray’s miniature sculptures create tiny worlds using every day objects like glass teapots, grass-covered purses, mirrored makeup compacts, shoes etc.  In this post we are covering a mixture of two of her exhibitions, Flights of Fancy and The Collector.  The compositions and the titles she gives them, resemble the soothing feel and look of the old nursery rimes, children's stories and the surreal imagery they came with.
