			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>i&#8217;ve been reading a lot lately about the power &amp; intrigue of <em>the miniature</em>.<br />
i decided to return to the wondrous collection of fantastical relics at <em>the museum of jurassic technology</em>&#8230;with particular attention paid to the strand-of-hair carvings by Hagop Sandaldjian.</p>
<p>&#8220;Inhabiting the margins between dream and reality, these figures of impossible dimensions appear at once banal and elusive, meticulously crafted and dreamily insubstantial. Each nearly weightless sculpture seems to hover between its slim hold on the material plane and the lucid and immeasurable reality of a mental image. Straddling the line between science, craft, art, and novelty, Sandaldjian&#8217;s work befuddles our ability to make such distinctions, and in so doing, opens a space for wonder.&#8221;      </p>
<p><a href="http://blog.thankyoukindly.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/img00041.jpg"><img class="size-full wp-image-8" title="wild animals" src="http://blog.thankyoukindly.org/wp-content/uploads/2008/10/img00041.jpg" alt="&quot;the microminiatures&quot; of Hagop Sandaldjian" width="500" height="238" /></a></p>
<p>(above, <em>wild animals</em>  &#8221;on a strand of hair, twelve wild animals are seen in the presence of a crowd. the strand of hair is coverd with glue.&#8221;)</p>
<p>pretty good, yes?</p>
<p>i highly recommend you look at the rest of <a title="microminiatures" href="http://www.mjt.org/exhibits/hagop/hagop2.html">the microminiatures of hagop sandaldjian</a>.</p>
