The new commission from Precious Okoyomon entitled Quadrophonic Playground, Exploding Hearts, Errant Roots (Archatinidae) is at the center of The Impermanent Display II. This sculpture that includes a terrarium of soft black-tinted glass, houses specimens of Archachatina marginata, a snail species native to West Africa.
