Kentucky's Mystery Castle

There is a castle located in Kentucky. It is on Versailles Road between Lexington and Frankfort. It's a castle built on love. Rex Martin, a wealthy developer, build it for his wife, Caroline. They were in Europe and she saw some castles, and she was taken with them.

So in 1968, Martin broke ground along U.S. 60 in Woodford County. But by the mid-70s, the marriage was over. That's when construction of the 10,000 square foot home with seven bedrooms and baths, three dining rooms and a swimming pool stopped. And the rumors began. LINK

The story of Kentucky's mystery castle.

Mayhem and Chaos in Snow Globes and On Islands

Walter Martin and Paloma Munoz are geniuses at creating beautiful but tragic stories. What you once thought was playful and innocent is actually a world of chaos; lone wanderers survey the frigid landscape, people and creatures exhibit unnatural tendencies and ill-defined crimes are committed. These imaginary worlds and events will shock you into believing that this world is more cold than we think; where every man is out for himself.

Like fairy tales or dreams, the tiny tableaus work as psychological metaphors: specifically, a stage everyone is bound to enter when life has lost its warmth and promise, at which point finding a new way becomes desperately urgent. They speak to isolation and environment, cause and effect, connection and disconnection on individual, global, and ideological levels all within the confines of a snow globe (Travelers) or on landscape panoramas (Islands).
