Sketch a Day Month 2012, Day Four
Went to a fabulous exhibit (Lincoln Center Art Gallery, Fort Collins) that unfortunately ended yesterday: Jennifer Angus: Memory Game. She works with bugs, real bugs! With a background in textile design, Angus creates patterned installations that feel a lot like wallpaper. I wish they had sold post cards or an accompanying book, but there was none to be had – AND I didn’t take photos, so when I woke up this morning I let the memories inspire today’s sketch
views from the artist's studio.

Wish you could have seen the ones in the exhibit – she had showcased wax dress-figures with such insect heads, created imaginary insects with an array of parts – all with a Victorian flair!
