Elly MacKay has captured the beauty and simplicity of childhood and put that magic in a bottle. Or, rather, a box - MacKay creates stunning dioramas out of layers of paper and then lights and photographs them to create these images.
From MacKay’s bio:

My work often tells a moment in a story, and often plays with the themes of childhood, and the ephemeral. I look to my own childhood, my experiences as a mother, Victorian curiosities, vintage book illustrations, set design, and the land and weather.

"I really must stop saying sorry; it doesn’t make things any better or worse. If only I had it in me to be all fierce, fearless and forthright instead of forever sprinkling my discourse with pitiful retractions, apologies and prevarications. It is one of the reasons I could never have been an artist, either of a literary or any other kind. All the true artists I know are uninterested in the opinion of the world and wholly unconcerned with self-explanation. Artists are strong, bloody-minded, difficult and dangerous."

"To be able to analyse the contemporary image production – and intervene into this production – art needs a certain distance from everyday life. The museification of art is related to the concept of the ‘permanent collection’ that gives to the artworks a promise of eternal or at least indefinite time of survival. But the relevance of permanent collections decreases as the number of the museums of contemporary art increases. The museums of contemporary art are theatres in which the drama of the contemporary life is staged always anew."
