Deities at the Bottom of the Garden.

I've been multi tasking, working on the rug and uploading these pics at the same time. I mentioned this exhibition at the Arts Centre earlier in the week, or was it last week, I can't remember. Anyway, I went to have a better look today, I didn't have much time before. Richard Bartle is the artist, he is a Yorkshire man from Sheffield. There are twelve miniature, scale model, garden sheds, and each one is a tiny private worship space. Each sculpture has been extensively researched and is hand crafted.

Each one is set on a tall white plinth topped with layed carpet tiles, and is at eye level so you can see inside. The exquisite details include hand woven rugs, painted ceilings, hand turned furniture, and glass light fittings. These are the most amazing dolls houses I have ever seen. I'll leave you to enjoy them. 

This last one is of a large print hanging on the wall.

Richard has a web site. On the home page is a photograph of the whole exhibition, inside our Arts Centre Church. If you scroll down to the bottom there are individual photo's of the sheds. It's on here until the 23rd February, I will go and have another look when I am in town, it's fascination. Hope you like it.

Toodle pip.
