The Big Miniature Project!

Day one...

So, strictly I’m now on day two as its early hours of the morning, but I’m too excited to sleep. Research frenzy!

Blogging is all new too so please bear with me!

Everything has been unpacked, I’m almost a little overwhelmed by the project ahead but am so pleased I can finally start after years of daydreaming!

Lovely tiny things! Too exciting…

And so it begins…

A table set with tiny plates, the chairs around a paper fire: diminishment has simplified the aims and objects of desire, while blinder faith must still provide the mincemeat in the wooden cakes, the creaking stair and wind outside. For you have held your breath to peer along the shelves of depthless books lining a room where nothing’s read; and now, effortlessly giant, look up to the eaves and in at the beds. Be brave. To live is not to fear despite the scale of what’s at stake. Two children lie in matchbox cribs. Next door a couple, stiff as pegs, are tucked together, rib to rib, the bedsheets bound around their legs. What happens if you turn away? Every god has asked the same, crouched at a sideboard, just in case sudden little laughter shakes a heaven like an empty house where not a plate nor day will break.
