Sculpture: Architectural Skulls

Architectural Skulls  by Danish sculptor Frodo Mikkelsen

Working primarily in silver-plated metals, Danish artist Frodo Mikkelsen is best known for creating miniature worlds that playfully remind viewers of their own mortality. These sculptures feature cottages, cabins and other quaint rural landscapes mounted atop silver plated skulls.  Domestic yet unsettling, these intricate miniatures stand as stark representations of our deep desire for security and our fear of loss.  Each one is a perfect bit of grim whimsy, frozen moments of urban planning in a village of miniature grave-robbers.
