Tessa Farmer is perhaps one of the more eaoixtrdrnary artists we’ve had the chance to get to know recently. Tessa creates obsessively grotesque worlds of decay and mortality in the natural and magical worlds of miniature fairies, insects, and animals. These creatures are the furthest things from the saccharine pop culture fairies that might immediately come to mind. Her macabre fairies bring the viewer into an experience of a different world of dark and uncomfortable whimsy.
Excellent blog post. I definitely love this website.
Continue the good work!
