Inspiration: 2, Walter Martin & Paloma Munoz

Walter Martin and Paloma Munoz have amazed and influenced me since I stumbled upon them in 2008. I was putting together a presentation for my thesis class of the many artists that have inspired me when I discovered their miniature scenes, complete with fantasy and close to death encounters.

The first set of photographs are from a their series Islands (2003-2009). I enjoy the forest scenes because they take you closer to the island, which portrays a feeling of endless space.

This next set of images is taken from the series Travelers (2001-2009). These take place in snow globes, which provides a sense of seclusion in much the same way an island does.
