Miniature Worlds Encapsulated in Glass

Jenny Ayrton creates miniature worlds of whimsy encased in molten glass using a sand-casting technique. The British artist tries to view the world from her young daughter’s eyes when pursuing her projects and in doing so captures a themed innocence and a sort of idyllic moment in time. Crafting familiar scenes from everyday life directly inspired by her surroundings, the still-life displays bear a wonderful life to them that is open to interpretation and nothing short of magical.
