Tiny dioramas of floating objects that appear to defy gravity and sit upon the surface of the water. These miniature installations play on the concept of ‘the island’ as an isolated entity surrounded by an unfamiliar presence. This installation aims to represent the symbolic places of the island; allowing branches, stones and light to metamorphose into something unfamiliar.
