I love artists who reinvent ordinary objects with their imagination. Sydney artist Kendal Murray transforms see-through teapots, compact mirrors and piles of books into dramatic (often humourous) miniature sets, buzzing with XS-sized human activity.
Her current exhibition, Short Stories and Tall Tails, is showing at Arthouse Gallery in Sydney and closes on Saturday. If you like the sample shown here, you should definitely rush down to see the show.

Oh so wonderful! I think I saw Kendal's work at Art Sydney last year. I'm loving the purse and the compacts... like a world within a world. I feel almost voyeuristic.
These have blown me away. They are just magical!! I love them all but my favourite is the sailing boats. Wonderful stuff. Thanks for showing me. Px
