Hidden World: Jennifer Angus

April 25 - July 6, 2025

Hidden World: Jennifer Angus is an immersive exhibition by Madison-based artist Jennifer Angus that transforms the Port Angeles Fine Arts Center into a living tapestry of nature, using preserved insect specimens to create intricate patterns that dance across the walls. Through her art, she reveals both the delicate beauty and the fragility of our ecosystem, offering a thoughtful reflection on our relations with the natural world.

Each carefully composed piece invites the viewer to explore the hidden complexity of the insect world, where forms of nature intersect with the art of pattern-making. As the room is filled with these meticulously crafted designs, we are reminded of the essential roles that even the smallest of creatures play in sustaining life on Earth.
