Snow Globes

Clearly, when on display, there should be some mechanical device that periodically shakes the globes, so they can be properly viewed. That's the compromise made in a gallery situation.

I happen to love them with or without the snow. Not only do they practically MAKE ME imagine being in the beautiful, miniaturized scene ... they also somehow remind me of the intricate scenes I've seen carved miraculously into the heads of pins.
