Work of Tessa Farmer: Attingham Park, Shrewsbury.
At the weekend I went to see an exhibition “House of Beasts” at Attingham Park in Shrewsbury, which is a National Trust estate. It is currently running this exhibition which focuses on the relationships between the humans and animals that live in and around the estate.
These photos feature works by the artist Tessa Farmer. Farmer’s work features painstakingly crafted fantasy narratives made from the bodies of insects and plant roots. Her winged fairy creatures occupy a transitory state between life and death; the beautiful and the uncanny. The tiny fairies are seen to be causing mischief in the insect world, harnessing the invertebrates as their own carriages, torturing and playing with their victims.
Heres a link to the exhibitions page: http://www.meadowarts.org/page.php?Plv=2&P1&P2=21, it’s worth a look!
