The Museum of Miniature Public Art (2020)

The Museum of Miniature Public Art was created to highlight the importance of art in times of crisis. Due to Covid restictions the public had to resort mainly to online virtual exhibitions.

 

The difference between the M.M.P.A. and other online exhibitions is that instead of simply viewing the work online, the public were invited to do a mandatory meditation to unlock their imagination before entering. Using the power of imagination, the public were to be immersed in this miniature world where time, space and lockdown no longer existed. They are there, their friends and family are there and and they are all together in this world, fully immersed in the art they are viewing.

You are the woman in the red dress.

All artwork depicted are responses as the year unfolded. Some scenes were to encourage mental wellbeing under social isolation, other scenes were personal responses to the environmental atmosphere at that time.
