Written by Elsa Brown: Amidst a busy square in Cardiff, Wales, you can find a series of miniature worlds—if you know where to look. Artist Jane Edden designed diminutive tableaux that were recently installed in the tops of unassuming bollards, or traffic posts, that dot St. David’s shopping center. The permanent installation is called Post Secret, and was developed by Edden in collaboration with students from the Royal Welsh College of Music and Drama. She photographed and sketched the students, then constructed the tiny, laser-cut scenes, which reside in secret until a curious visitor gazes in.

Edden: “Within the bollards are miniature constructions, created in a stylized monochrome form. Some of these environments seem to transcend the space that can be perceived to be within the bollards. This interplay with the interior and exterior space is designed to create the feeling of looking into another place or world.” Click Read More for additional information and photos.
