This evocative photographic work titled “Boa Constrictor with Artist’s Hand and Pearls Tattoo” is by John Udvardy, created in collaboration with Jennifer Phillips, as documented on the original artist label affixed to the verso. The composition presents a tightly framed, immersive view of a coiled boa constrictor intertwined with a human hand bearing a visible tattoo, creating a powerful visual dialogue between the organic form of the snake and the symbolic markings of the human body.

Executed as a color Xerox photographic print, the work measures 12 x 16 inches and is presented mounted and framed. The verso label includes the artists’ names, studio address in Warren, Rhode Island, contact information, title, medium, original sale price, and dimensions, indicating direct provenance from the artists’ studio.

This piece reflects Udvardy’s interest in conceptual and performative imagery, where touch, symbolism, and physical presence converge. The intimate scale and bold subject matter make this work especially compelling for collectors of contemporary photography, conceptual art, and artist-documented works from late 20th-century experimental practices.
