Series | Monumental Ideas in Miniature Books Reception |
Artworks of monumental physical scale are overwhelming. The diminutive viewer is confronted and consumed by the gigantic. Presented with the miniature, the viewer, no longer assigned to the passive role, could instead devour the work, taking it into his or her soul. This collection of miniature books invites the viewer into a personal and intimate relationship with attention drawn to the significance of the seemingly insignificant -- the momentousness of the miniscule is magnified into monumental value.
