Subversive Miniature Landscapes By Jesse Bromm
- Words
- Charmaine Li
Canadian artist Jesse Bromm creates subversive miniature landscapes using a combination of found objects, animal parts and glass. By mixing elements from everyday life with imagery of environmental and cultural issues, the artist aims to create a dialogue about the way we perceive reality and what may be buried underneath. The aim is to evoke a new way of thinking or feeling in the viewer about certain topics.

This opens a dialogue about assumed knowledge through interpretation of what’s placed in and around the glass.”
