“Lori Nix is an artist who bends the line between truth and illusion in her photographs. She accomplishes this by photographing miniatures and models which illuminate her interest in the disaster movies of the 1970s and her memories of growing up in Kansas—a place that seems to attract disasters like no other.” (quote from Jeffrey Hoon)

Hi Alana, these are mainly miniature scenes photographed... as far as I could ascertain from her website.
