David Hourigan has made tiny versions of the Tote, the Espy and many more down to the cigarette butts and band posters, wanting to ‘preserve these before they disappear’ It’s a tiny subject, but a big question: why are humans innately drawn to miniatures? Is it something about rediscovering the power we felt as children playing with toys, little gods in charge of our own dominions? Is it because these small worlds feel reassuringly contained among all the chaos of our own? Is it sheer appreciation for the delicacy and patience required to make them?

His intricate miniatures are so realistic that it can be hard to tell whether you are looking at a photo of the Espy or the Tote – until Hourigan’s big hands loom into view, popping a matchstick down to reveal the scale of his painstaking work.

being a medieval peasant was hard, but at least they didn’t have the news getting beamed into their skulls every hour of the day. if the Archbishop of Canterbury freezes to death while crossing the Alps, that’s for the king to worry about in six months.
