Waggle Dance

Jennifer Clark’s mural "Waggle Dance" combines floral forms, geometric patterns and depictions of honeybees. The title refers to the waggle dance, a distinctive behaviour through which honeybees communicate information about the direction and distance of rewarding food sources to other members of their colony. The work thus draws attention to the remarkable communication skills of these insects and their close relationship with flowering plants.

Jennifer Clark created the mural in 2020 as part of the Vancouver Mural Festival. Its clean graphic style and combination of botanical imagery and geometric shapes transform an otherwise plain building wall into a colourful tribute to the world of honeybees.
