Meet Saul Becker

Take a behind-the-scenes look at his installation for Reframing Dioramas

Join Seattle-based artist Saul Becker for a behind-the-scenes look at his installation for NHM's Reframing Dioramas: The Art of Preserving Wilderness, part of PST ART: ART & SCIENCE COLLIDE. Becker's immersive interpretation of a natural history museum diorama blends electroplated plants, classical taxidermy, and vivid colors to evoke a sense of industrial blight and eerie foreboding. Meet the artist, and explore his methods and artistic vision in his thought-provoking addition to Reframing Dioramas.
