Thomas Doyle makes miniatures of odd, dreamlike scenes, displayed under glass domes. The materials used are what you’d expect to find in a devoted model train hobbyists studio.

Thomas Doyle: Acceptable Loses<\/figcaption><\/figure><\/p>\n

In each piece, Doyle has frozen a moment in time — captured it like a specimen, shrunk it in size and offer it up for us to view through display glass. The moments are eerily quiet and have the sensation that time itself has stopped. The scale of the works compared to the viewer’s human scale makes us look at each scene as a precious object to be studied. We are outside looking in, voyers in foggy narratives with nonsensical, dreamlike plots. When I look at his work, I feel like I can almost hear the dead air inside the glass. They have a slient, spooky quality to them. There is a strange quality about his work that leaves me wanting more. I want to know what happened before and after.<\/p>\n
