Ordinary rooms hold the strangest visitors.

Sinkside Bugs is a handcrafted curiosity series placing real preserved insects, including carpenter bees, into carefully styled miniature bathroom sink scenes. Perched at the edge of porcelain basins or resting beside taps, each insect appears caught in a quiet, almost contemplative moment.

The contrast between the preserved specimen and the familiar bathroom setting creates a sense of gentle absurdity—intimate, humorous, and faintly unsettling. Small decorative details may include mirrors, tiles, soap dishes, or wall accents, making each scene feel like a tiny, lived-in space momentarily shared with an unexpected guest.

These pieces sit somewhere between art object and curiosity cabinet find—perfect for collectors who appreciate subtle storytelling and domestic surrealism.

Perfect For:

• Curiosity cabinet collectors

• Lovers of preserved insect art

• Whimsical gothic and surreal décor fans

• Conversation-starting wall or shelf art

• Unique gifts for fans of the unusual

No two sinks, insects, or bathroom details are ever the same. Please note this item is a custom order only. Sink design and pattern and butterfly colour may vary.
