Our first topic will be based around 'Slinkachu'
Street installations and photography
In the biography section of the website the following is given as an introduction.
'My 'Little People Project' started in 2006. It involves the remodelling and painting of miniature model train set characters, which I then place and leave on the street. It is both a street art installation project and a photography project. The street-based side of my work plays with the notion of surprise and I aim to encourage city-dwellers to be more aware of their surroundings. The scenes I set up, more evident through the photography, and the titles I give these scenes aim to reflect the loneliness and melancholy of living in a big city, almost being lost and overwhelmed. But underneath this, there is always some humour. I want people to be able to empathise with the tiny people in my works.'
We have a range of 'little people' and will look at composition, location, framing and creating our own works which are in the style of Slinkachu.
Below are some quick examples taken in one location to give you an idea.
