This Press Play collage fuses vintage science and natural history in a bold, surreal composition. At its core is a 19th-century chromatic scale by educators Marcius Willson and Norman A. Calkins. Encircling the wheel are two hand-illustrated snakes—one from Patrick Russell’s An Account of Indian Serpents (1796), the other from George Shaw and Frederick Polydor Nodder’s The Naturalist’s Miscellany (1789–1813). Their coiling forms bring motion and myth to the precise geometry of the color chart.

Part print lab, part time machine, part treasure hunt, Press Play mixes original works, adapted prints, and a deep curatorial dive through dusty archives in search of forgotten gems and visual oddities from art history’s fringes. Some are entirely our own invention; others are collaborations across centuries.
Art that’s smart, strange, a little subversive—and tastefully irreverent.
