I call these little buggers “Quirks.” They represent bits of self and experience that I find funny and/or relatable. I then place each “specimen” under magnification for further examination, both of the piece, and the associated quirk. I’m currently working on 100+ individually mounted pieces, but they’re also available in groupings.
