The post UFOs Visit Earth’s Beautiful Landscapes in Caroline Dewison’s Miniature Dioramas appeared first on PlayJunkie.
]]>For her latest series of dioramas, Dewison used unidentified flying objects and her fascination with the possibility of extraterrestrial life as a source of inspiration. Tiny 3D spacecrafts are shown paying a visit to Earth’s beautiful landscapes, which Dewison hand paints on the diorama backgrounds. This combination of 3D and two-dimensional elements contributes a great amount of depth to the pieces.
“In my lifetime, it’s gone from there being just us to scientists finding hundreds and thousands of exoplanets, many with the possibility of life. I would like to think that we’re not alone,” Dewison shares about the project.
Dewison also created various automata pieces on the same subject. In these pieces, UFOs are circling above a pond or performing choreographies in the sky with just a simple pull of a lever.
The majority of Dewison’s creations are handmade. She uses various materials, including plywood, Jesmonite composite material, acrylic paints, and clay, to bring her vision to life. However, she also turns to 3D-printing pen for more demanding elements.

]]>Taylor’s works are a combination of miniature paintings and cutouts from watercolor artworks. Despite working with limited space, she manages to pack an amazing amount of detail and turn small containers into keepers of mystical realms.
These pieces are full of fantasy, magic, unusual creatures, and vivid colors. Viewers encounter worlds inhabited by wizards, vampires, ghosts, and fantastical beast resting on the palm of their hand, fueling their imagination and leaving them eager to uncover other secrets they might hide.
According to Taylor, her works conjure “the decorative and figurative qualities of the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood and aesthetic movement” while being an “exploration of beauty.” The artist also decorates each compact with an image of an owl, aware of the bird’s status as a symbol of magic, wisdom, and knowledge.
In case you would like to admire Taylor’s creations in person, they will be exhibited at Hashimoto Contemporary Art Gallery in Los Angeles as part of the Night Market exhibition that opens on November 9.
