Wingate Artist-in-Residence Jennifer Angus Lecture

Hear from Jennifer Angus, a professor in the Design Studies Department at the University of Wisconsin-Madison where she teaches textile design, with a specific focus on all things relating to the dyeing and printing of cloth, including natural dyes. Her large-scale installations feature ornate patterns that are composed of hundreds of insects placed in arrangements suggestive of wallpaper and textiles. She is an artist described by Art Daily as “one of the top contemporary installation artists in the country” and is known to create some of the most provocative work ever seen in an art museum setting. 

See her artwork in “Lady Bug” on display in Zuckerman’s Malinda Jolley Mortin Gallery. This exhibit was inspired by two leading, female UK entomologists whose work heavily impacted the field of science, thus it is a featured program during the Year of the UK at KSU.
