Miniature figures were what I turned to when embarking on a project to explore my child-like mind. For reasons unknown, I have always kept a toy dinosaur in my possession from being a child onwards to today. He moves around the house, currently he resides in a pocket of my weekender bag. And I should add, I have yet to photograph him. I guess it’s a porthole back in time to my youth. That dinosaur was reminder of sorts to not be so serious all the time, and be more child-like in my imagination. Bug Transport is the silly thought, What would it be like if bugs were the size of Live-stock and we road them around for transportation?
