Jennifer Angus received her training at the Nova
Scotia College of Art and Design and the School of
the Art Institute of Chicago. In SASA BUG!,
she combines images of her son, Sasa, with
photo-transfers of bugs to create a darkly humorous
quilt. |
"The bed is a place
of critical life moments-conception, birth,
death-but is is also associated with comfort.
It is a place to recuperate or seek solitude and
cry. The beds of SASA BUG! instantly suggest
childhood because of their size, but the imagery on
the quilts suggests a night-marish land." |
