American sculptor thomas doyle is noted for his ability to craft microcosmic idyllic scenes and isolated spaces having been overturned by catastrophe. The artist believes by completing his sculptures at a scale of 1:87 or 1:43, the destruction portrayed within the confine of a bell-jar evokes feelings of omnipotence in the viewer, as if they are recalling an event of the not so distant past. The experiences rendered in each piece are those of transformation in the lives of the depicted figures— the gallery goer may observe a dream-like moment, sealed away from their personal environment  while still remaining entirely accessible through a slightly distorted, yet clear, encasement.
