The Creature Under the Desk
The Creature under the Desk
Taken from the quote by Ronald Reagan that a year’s nuclear waste could be stored under a desk, the quote expands into, what if, how certain and how safe is his suggestion. In looking into the story of Chernobyl, I decided to create my own mutated creature inspired by Hollywood creature feature films of the 50s and 60s. The beast is contained in a fragile box like structure constructed out of local dead wood that could at any moment break open and release the creature into the bleak and desolate surroundings. The trees standing around the imprisoned creature have been stripped of life and left bare. Contrasts between past and present, religion and science come to the fore within the work.
