Craftbloggers Magpie and Cake point us to this creepy yet delightful exhibit on at Toronto’s Textile Musum until May 14. Jennifer Angus’ “A Terrible Beauty” uses real live dead bugs to make make wallpaper patterns.
From the curatorial essay:

A Terrible Beauty’s intricate geometric patterns, familiar to us through wallpapers, textile designs, interior furnishings and the clothing we wear are drawn onto the gallery walls with thousands of tropical insects pinned into exacting repeat patterns that transform the gallery space into four sensational tableaux.
