The worlds Joe Fig creates are miniature, but they are full of knowledge about the artistic process.
Fig—a Simsbury resident whose studio is in Collinsville and who teaches at Hartford Art School—visits artists in their studios. He interviews them on tape and takes photos of them in their natural habitats.
He then returns to his studio and meticulously recreates dollhouse-scale sculptures of the studios, down to the most minute detail: mini pots, brushes, canvases and palettes, little magazines, books and record albums, crumpled rags thrown on the floor, dogs on the sofa, scratches on the walls, paint splotches on the floor, teeny-tiny itsy-bitsy labels on the paint tubes.
