About the Book
MARK GOODMAN/BLURB book #12 [2020 and 2022] A homage, history and portrait of Rabbitsnake—“this enigma, head of a rabbit and body of a snake,” created by the street artist, Jonny Stranger. “To a casual passerby, as the vibrancy of Jonny Stranger’s stapled materials deteriorate, what remains might look something like the high-water mark left after a flood recedes; unless, of course, you are willing to visualize (or recall) this chimera as a kind of mythmaking and longing for a slightly strange visual beauty; if so, these decorated (not desecrated) poles might be imagined as having once lined the parade route into—not out of—a funky Garden of Eden.”
