“From tiny experiences we build cathedrals.” – Orhan Pamuk, Nobel Prize in Literature
Have you ever wished you could bottle a moment to keep forever? I’ve spent over 20 years doing just that. I’m Lisa Swerling, an artist making miniature worlds in boxes called Glass Cathedrals. I make art that captures the most intangible but precious treasure of life – relationships and memories. The tiny figures resemble real people (and animals) in the setting of your choice, creating unique 3D portraits.
From my humble beginnings selling Glass Cathedrals at street markets, there are now literally thousands of them scattered around the world. Magic in a box!
