Miniature Worlds in a glass bowl

Artists Walter Martin and Paloma Munoz (Walter Martin and Paloma Munoz) from New York, exploring the little dramas of everyday life crazy and transform them into miniature sketches.Scenes of their work always occur against the backdrop of snow-covered landscapes, but surprisingly not even that.The most unusual is the fact that the heroes of the heroes of Walter and Paloma live in a confined space: in snow balls.

Most balls have about 15 cm in diameter, depict human figures, alone or in the power of the other expelled in snowy landscapes and dressed in accordance with the cold weather.

Once the authors agree on the idea and create a miniature scenery, they put them in the balls - a technology that has been recognized by a lot of trial and error.Initially, the artists turned over snow globe and fill it like a fishbowl, with a mixture of water and alcohol.They then attach the seal to the bottom of the landscape and the design is placed in the middle of a glass sphere, forcing excess water and getting rid of air bubbles.The joint between the edge of the bowl and seal sealed with silicone, soft glue, which later can be easily removed without destroying the ball itself.The most unloved occupation Walter and Paloma - processing of sandpaper and varnished wooden base on which rests the snowy field.Process.as the authors say, boring and toxic.



When the process of creating a sphere is complete Munoz photographs sphere on a white or a black background.The resulting images then either put up with the balls or shown independently.

artist Walter Martin hails from Norfolk, Virginia, where "quite boring weather.In winter, it's cold, but no snow, and terribly hot in the summer. "Paloma Muñoz grew up in Madrid.Now the couple lives at the foot of the mountains in Pennsylvania.In winter, their house covered with snow, and apparently it is this magic picture inspires writers to create their own miniature masterpieces.The works of creative couple can be seen on the site.
