The Inversion Theory: Viewing the anthropomorphic as a study for the miniature object

The Inversion Theory explores the idea of inverting the traditional concept of architectural or scale models which are usually seen as studies for full-scale buildings, or final creations. It gives an alternative view that the miniature-scale object can be the final object, and that the anthropomorphic construction can be used as a study. The text also investigates the maze from an historical, mythological and personal perspective in relation to the author's sculptural artwork.

Daniel Dorall (BScArch, BArch, MFA) has been researching the inverted relationship between miniature objects and human scale structures since 2005, by creating miniature cardboard mazes housed in room-size installations. He has held numerous solo and group exhibitions of his sculptural works in Australia and internationally.
