“From tiny experiences we build cathedrals.” – Orhan Pamuk, Nobel Prize in Literature
When we gaze down from a plane at city lights at night, we feel like giants. Then, looking up at the stars, we feel like tiny specks amongst them. That a person can feel like a god and like a speck of stardust at one time, in one body and mind – what marvels us humans are!
I’m Lisa Swerling, an artist making tiny worlds in boxes called Glass Cathedrals. Inspired by the power of the miniature to communicate big ideas and feelings, I’ve made thousands since 2004, in Cape Town, California, and now London.
