Description

Her Shrink Ray Eye is a podcast about miniature art, figure painting, box dioramas, scale modeling, perception, and creative practice. Hosted by miniature artist Joan Biediger, the show explores miniature work from a woman’s, outsider perspective at the bench.

Rather than stopping at technique, Her Shrink Ray Eye looks at how small constructed worlds actually work: how scale changes perception, how figures and dioramas hold story, and how miniature art can reveal the way we see.

Thoughtful, personal, and a little offbeat, with new episodes every other Wednesday.
