The Snowglobes of Thomas Doyle

Thomas Doyle offers this description of his art:

My work mines the debris of memory through the creation of intricate worlds sculpted in 1:43 scale and smaller. Often sealed under glass, the works depict the remnants of things past—whether major, transformational experiences, or the quieter moments that resonate loudly throughout a life. In much the way the mind recalls events through the fog of time, the works distort reality through a warped and dreamlike lens.

Here's one of his works titled "The reprisal":

And another titled "Clearing (UXO)":

Very nice. They remind me of the work of martin-munoz, which have some of my favourite snow globes ever.

I love the idea snow globes, but very few meet my standards. I can't afford any of the ones I actually like, only the ones with dancing teddy bears and the like :(
