Originating as an attempt to spotlight miniature ecosystems like aquariums and the collection of captive but persevered lives they contain, this series’ scope expanded into a wide range of habitats whose denizens’ lives and perception of life are bounded by the limits of their enclosures. Glass and epoxy resin, which can be invisible but implacably confining, offers a unique way to render artificial microcosms. As Sadie continued to explore the viewpoints of creatures in their natural environments, she expanded into more fanciful visions. Sadie hopes this series provokes viewers to meditate on the constraints of our own habitat-dictated perspectives.
