Pest in the Garden is an installation featuring a cut-paper animation and wall mural. In the animation, a garden grows as insect-humans emerge from flowers. The installation hints at man’s love for nature and resulting parasitic tendencies. It is also a metaphor for the relationship between parents and their children.
About the Artist
“My goal as an artist is to process and understand my experiences through the creation of art. After the birth of my son. I was forced to change my work process. I started creating daily 3-10 second animations. This led me to start a new series of works (including Pest in the Garden) that serve as a love letter to my 3-year-old son.”
– Jennie Thwing
