The charm of the series lies in the way scale completely reshapes familiar things. Broccoli turns into a dense forest, a plastic bag becomes an iceberg and a melting ice cream takes on the proportions of a natural disaster.</p>\n<p>A graduate of the Glasgow School of Art, David specialises in macro photography and long-exposure light painting. We first featured his work during the early years of Inspiration Grid, and his imaginative approach is still as inventive as ever.</p>\n<p>For more of David Gilliver’s work, visit his <a
