Thomas Doyle is an artist who works in the medium of miniature dioramas. The images he portrays are often simultaneously very beautiful and deeply disturbing. The works are sometimes sealed under/inside glass vessels, giving the emotional and transformative scenes a quiet, forensic quality.

The quality of his work makes me wistful to get back into scale modelling. A lot of modern art has divorced itself from craft: drawing, sculpting, painting. So I'm always a fan of real artistic representation that is expressed in non-traditional mediums that are nonetheless fine crafts.

Mom, make sure dad sees these.

Fantastic stuff! Maybe tonight when I'm home I'll sit your dad down to look at it. I'd really like him to start doing stuff like that again.
