The disruption to the displays has been caused not by clothes moths, carpet beetles or woodworm, but by malevolent skeleton fairies. The source of infestation appears to be a vase from the museum stores recently added to the central display of hanging vases. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54033c5de4b0132427c2fed7/1411754250258-19YY89Z3RHPFCJJ3I1PG/Magicicadadetail3.jpg Gallery https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54033c5de4b0132427c2fed7/1446460693367-KYIGY1JBPAOLPBY2D7HE/20150918-123611-DSCF8476.jpg Gallery http://www.tessafarmer.com/newsblog daily 1.0 2026-03-20 http://www.tessafarmer.com/newsblog/2026/3/20/occupied-strange-company monthly 0.5 2026-03-20 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54033c5de4b0132427c2fed7/fb600983-d72e-464c-ad66-8b9439e7eaf7/36678.jpg News/ Exhibitions - Occupied: Strange Company http://www.tessafarmer.com/newsblog/2025/11/24/welcome-to-fairyland-at-the-viktor-wynd-museum-of-curiosities monthly 0.5 2025-11-24 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54033c5de4b0132427c2fed7/1f0dca95-c407-4b12-bd1f-cb7cc1b5ac0b/insidebooksmall.jpg News/ Exhibitions - Welcome to Fairyland at The Viktor Wynd Museum of Curiosities - Make it stand out Whatever it is, the way you tell your story online can make all the difference. http://www.tessafarmer.com/newsblog/2025/9/15/elective-affinities-centenary-exhibition-at-swedenborg-house-190925-270226 monthly 0.5 2025-09-15 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54033c5de4b0132427c2fed7/7558e304-2b09-4328-8391-1c0ab02ac5d6/cocoondetail16.jpg News/ Exhibitions - 'Elective Affinities' Centenary Exhibition at Swedenborg House 19/09/25-27/02/26 - Make it stand out Cocoon (detail) 2025, moth cocoon, wasp nest, mouse bones, coral, wormshells, insects, arthropods, plant roots, crab claws, hedgehog and sea urchin spines http://www.tessafarmer.com/newsblog/2025/6/10/common-creatures-bewildering-beasts-kh7-artspace-aarhus-denmark-1 monthly 0.5 2025-06-10 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54033c5de4b0132427c2fed7/b9173718-5e90-486f-aea5-23fdc08a6eca/PXL_20250607_090846206-EDIT.jpg News/ Exhibitions - Common Creatures, Bewildering Beasts: KH7 Artspace, Aarhus, Denmark - Make it stand out ‘An Infestation (detail)’ 2025, insects, pupa, plant roots.

A symbiotic relationship has developed between the grey squirrels of the north and the fairies. Grey squirrels were introduced from America and caused our native red squirrels to decline. The grey squirrels are now being persecuted and culled in order to preserve the remaining red squirrels (that are in the North of England and Scotland). In a backlash the fairies and the greys attack and predate upon the red squirrels and other fauna around them.

It is a mobile museum of the forgotten histories of New Orleans, constructed from reclaimed materials and found objects excavated from the grounds of five abandoned city lots. It follows in the footsteps of Lafcadio Hearn, great New Orleans ethnographer and an inventor of the city's mysterious history. The exterior and interior of the vessel are made up of the treasure trove of wonders unearthed by the artists just beneath the New Orleans' soil. The interior environment is designed to create the impression of being submerged deep beneath the earth, observing the secret life of the discarded artifacts underground. Inside, theatrical models and small still lives made of the excavated objects are in conversation with fantasy and local legend, telling stories of the city through the reanimation of forgotten relics. Through a collaboration with the Food and Farm Network, the group has transformed these five blighted lots, clearing the waste refuse, excavating items for dioramas, and converting the land into usable green space. This work was funded in part through a grant from the Black Rock Arts Foundation and was exhibited as part of Prospect 2 New Orleans. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/54033c5de4b0132427c2fed7/1424717862709-2SNNXMCZEY1MB6LFZ0OR/%C2%AESch%C3%B6n19_37.jpg Archive 'Make up artist Elias Hove at Jedroot and artist Tessa Farmer combined forces to create a stunning beauty editorial for Schön!
