"Natural Philosophy / the Alchemists" Original by Barbara Wildenboer
In Natural Philosophy / The Alchemists, Barbara meditates upon Victor's interest in Natural Philosophy that ultimately leads him to create the Creature. The hand-cut paper sculpture includes texts by Cornelius Agrippa, whom Victor references as one of his inspirations. The presence of owls, microscopic imagery, and eye-like shapes also create a commentary on sight and wisdom. Despite Victor's knowledge, he remains blind and ignorant to the danger of his actions until it is too late.
