This Wallpaper Bugs Me

Wisconsin-based artist Jennifer Angus has created an installation called In The Midnight Garden for the Smithsonian American Art Museum‘s Renwick Gallery. The textured wall pattern is made up of 5,000 insects, collected from Southeast Asia, wrapping the interior in iridescent colour.



These are real, though not endangered, insects and this raises ethical issues which Angus alludes to here.
