Tessa Farmer's "Swarm"

I really liked the idea behind the dead fairy I posted just a few days ago. Tessa Farmer took that same idea, and ran with it in Swarm:

Tessa Farmer's sculptures of 'hells' angels' and 'fairies' can only be viewed using a magnifying glass. These hyper-real skeletons, seen riding insects, are terrifying visions of a part of the natural world inaccessible to ordinary human perception. Farmer's 'fairies' are presented as a species we never knew existed.

One can only imagine what the world would look like to one of these faeries if they became trapped inside, say, a water bottle.
