Drew Leshko's tiny houses pay tribute to architectural history
Instagram/ Urban Outfitters
Working from observation and photographs, the artist painstakingly recreates building facades from his neighborhood at a 1:12 scale. The scale is familiar for some viewers as standard dollhouse spec; the treatment to the buildings is widely different. The minute detail of hiswork includes city detritus such as dumpsters and pallets, which arecommentary of the same ideas of what is worth preserving. Highlightingquick fixes and simple solutions, Leshko’s work begs the viewer to build their own ideas of why and when these changes had been made. Accumulations of typically overlooked details and minutiae like acid rain deposits and rust become beautiful adornments.
