A miniature masterpiece that reflects the best of ourselves, this Glass Cathedral is a tiny but mighty work of 3D diorama art. Gazing inside the box at the tiny lady endlessly cleaning the checkered floor, is strangely emotional and empowering, a quiet reflection on creating order and safety in an endlessly messy world.

Lisa Swerling’s Glass Cathedrals are a series of dioramas created over the last 20 years in California, Cape Town and now London.

Each scene is handmade by the artist, individually titled, signed and dated.
