Book review: Cement Eclipses by Isaac Cordal
Cement Eclipses by Isaac Cordal CarpetBombingCulture, £12.95
YOU’VE heard of the Borrowers, you’ve heard of the Little People, you’ve even heard of Thumbelina.
Now meet Isaac Cordal’s tribe of tiny cement sculptures as they fend for themselves in the hustle and bustle of the busy city.
From the figures “swimming” across the tarmac of a park (right) to the Queen looking contemplative on a lintel, from a man hanging on barbed wire to another watching television, these characters are witty, poignant, endearing and simply captivating.
