& Tessa Farmer

Tessa Farmer is an artist based in London. Her miniscule sculptures are constructed from bits of organic material, such as roots, leaves, and dead insects, and each of her figures stand barely 1cm tall, their painstakingly intricate detail visible only through a magnifying glass. Tessa’s tiny spectacles draw upon Victorian occultism, but they evolve further into something alien and futuristic. The worlds she creates are by no means twee, populated as they are by harnessed mayflies, battling honey bees, and malevolent spindly spiders.
