By Tessa Farmer, these incredible taxidermy creations are made to resemble entomological fairies, and are no bigger than 1cm tall, so best viewed under a magnifying glass. While being visually magical sculptures, the story behind this piece, Resurrection Of The Rat, is darkly witty and put a smirk on my face instantly.
“The fairies captured, killed and ate the rat’s flesh before reworking it’s bone structure to create a multi-purpose piece of architecture. There is a caged area, a wasps nest and several areas for experimentation and torture.”
You can also see Farmer’s work in a group exhibition currently on at The New Art Gallery Walsall until June 30th.

Timeless Alphabets
You can find a world of inspiration in any of Julia Trigg’s collected letters. These playful compositions make a feature of the yellowed, textured papers and vivid inky letters that she’s gathered over the years.
A graduate of the Royal College of Art, Julia is based in Brighton in the UK. She keeps her eye out for all types of ephemera for use in her work; old stamps, postcards, packaging and woodblock type.
Unlike many of her contemporaries that practice montage work with collected items, she finds herself unable to cut the letters up, preferring instead to scan everything. This not only avoids any of the items fading over time but has the added advantage of enabling her to adjust the scale and colour of the beautiful details.
If you like this style I bet you’d be interested in the lettering work of other illustrators in this area that have featured on Type Worship:
Martin O’Neill: Gifted fidget, and found alphabet
Greg Lamarche: Gorgeous type compositions here and here
Paul Thurlby: Alphabet and other lettering work
