Scale
“A scale model is a representation or copy of a larger or smaller than the actual size of the object. For instance, when an architect wants to sell the look of new construction will create a scale model to be evaluated by the buyers. There is a scale model of the Tower of London inside the Tower of London.” (Ask Jeeves)
Scale models specifically are a copy of an object that is usually larger in size. Scale is an important factor in my project I want my photographs to fit in the dollhouse as if it was really in the dollhouse. However I want to play with the scale factor making the people and objects I place in the dollhouse standout. I have been looking more specifically at the scales of objects as I have been working on my project. When I place a photograph of a person or of another piece of furniture in the dollhouse space the scale is often slightly off. I am attracted to this awkward look of objects slightly being out of place.
“Children's dollhouses are commonly in 1:16 or 1:18 scale (3/4" and 2/3" scale respectively, 1 foot is represented by 3/4 or 2/3 of an inch)” (wikipedia)
