Artist Tessa Farmer sculpts nightmarish scenes of winged insects being attacked, harnessed & even ripped apart by tiny skeletal faries. Partially found via.
Yikes! Cool and creepy.

Is it wrong for me to feel sorry for the insects? Still, this is pretty interesting.

Well, that's something you don't see every day.

This looks potentially great, but it's so hard to render things like this photographically, that I really want to have a look at the originals. I'm not sure if some of these photos are that great, either. Hmm. I might try to go and have a look at these next month.
Cheers!

Cool. I'd rather see someone creating a fascinating world with their art as opposed to fashioning a nothing world and defying you to get or appreciate it, as so often happens now.

The tiny fairies and hell's angels she creates from plant and tree roots ...Wow. Just wow.

These are great, they really are, but why does the blurb accompanying artists' work have to be so damn turgid?
a tool to realise imaginative possibilities that might otherwise linger unseen
I realise that's a quote from the artist herself, but I wish the people presenting the art had sufficient confidence in the work to let us view it wihtout this sort of overwritten, quasi-intellectual nonsense.
Still, this really is good stuff. Thanks again, jonson.
