I previously blogged about Jennifer Angus' insect installation, Insecta Fantasia, in the Newark Museum's Victorian Ballantine House. For those of you who couldn't make it to the show this YouTube video is a wonderful tour.
Note the layered interplay of 2D wallpaper patterns with 3D insects - some of which have lasercut words and patterns cut into their carapaces - and the insect-populated dollhouses. An insect house within an insect house - it's the kind of intimate yet fantastic inner world created by the best children's books. I'm thrilled that this video lets everyone experience it.

Thank you for posting this. When you originally posted about the show I was a bit vexed "Ooah! Why don't we get cool shows like that here?!"(in Australia).
