David Mansot is an artist who has a unique talent for creating miniature ramshackle cabins that capture the essence of decay and abandonment. His work involves crafting detailed dioramas from sticks, wood recovered from forests, and recycled materials. These intricate creations are not just art pieces; they tell stories of life’s impermanence and nature’s reclaiming of human-made structures.
Mansot’s cabins are inspired by his travels, films, and personal encounters, each one beginning with a sketch that evolves into a three-dimensional form. His artistic journey is a testament to the beauty that can be found in the most unexpected places, turning the simple act of gathering materials into a narrative of survival and memory.
