Doris Salcedo, I salute you. Kinda.

Oprah says: when God serves you lemons, make lemonade. Or in this case, when God serves you structural subsidence, make....dioramas. Yes, the ever-widening cracks in our walls have been beckoning me by looking more and more like Doris Salcedo's Shibboleth. As an installation, I personally wasn't convinced. But the idea of a piece of art 'claiming 15 victims' pretty much makes it one of my favourite works EVER. Thanks Doris. And thanks Modelzone for letting me discover a new passion for tiny little hand-painted people.




Did I mention I love Modelzone?
