If you’ve ever been wandering along a Melbourne laneway and spied a miniscule scene – tiny figures in a miniature fantastical world – you may have come across the work of artist Liz Sonntag, aka Tinky.
Small Worlds
Tinky gathers vintage objects and assembles them with figurines and word play to create humorous dioramas. “Each artwork embraces a calamitous story of human drama and playful folly,” she says.
“Faced with a world of mismatched proportions and unexpected scenarios, each miniature character comes to life through their dream-like determination to make the best of their odd situation, aided and abetted Tiny Lives by a darkly humorous caption.”
