Insecta Fantasia, up now at the Newark Museum, is the work of entomologist and textile designer Jennifer Angus. Angus creates startling and intriguing insect "wallpaper" by pinning thousands of dead and dried insects to the walls in intricate and dizzying patterns. The video below, with its goofy fawning and hushed tones, is reminiscent of SNL's "Delicious Dish" NPR parodies, but the work itself is pretty great.
