I adored Chell Young's degree show at Edinburgh College of Art, I think it has stayed with me because I was so totally taken aback by it.
Chell has made tiny 'Fragile Realities' in intricate detail, models of the elegant Victorian tenement flats in Edinburgh, below, for example, the mirrors stacked against the wall are about 2 cms square, the reality created is breathtaking.
Below: is the front room with the bay window and below it the box in which this mirage is enclosed.
Below: is an attic crammed with boxed and below it the stilted heights of its box.
It was wonderful watching people explore this space and gasp with delight, transported like children into secret worlds.
