Lori Nix
Lori Nix is a photographer who creates elaborately constructed miniature models. Though the end result of her effort is a photograph, the process of the artist painstakingly creating these artificial environments is a large part of the result. I'm including her as an example here because of the way Nix is constructing her own space and time to translate into a two dimensional medium.
Amy Cutler
Amy Cutler's work depicts a fantasy world filled with women in whimsical and complex relationships. Cutler works primarily with paintings and drawings, but in 2007 she created this installation of 120 cast figures for a sculptural installation titled Alterations for the Museo Nacional Centro de Arte Reina Sofía in Madrid. The female figures with braided hair sit atop a table and are connected to other figures on the floor by small ropes. Read more about this piece in this press release.Arnie Zimmerman
