The Boa Constrictor
Turnip Green Creative Reuse
The Boa Constrictor centers an antique hand-painted magic lantern slide within a terrarium. Wrapped in a hypnotic hug of relief prints, this snake habitat is also a museum of found objects that wrestles with the long arms of the 19th century and the insidious concept of nature as an object of study, a force to be contained. How did those ideas help land us in the mess we are in today?
