ENQUIRE ABOUT THIS WORK



“I’ve been toying with this image for a while. Snakes were writhing, disguised as grass with their tongues in the place of seeds baiting birds. I started this painting with the snakes exclusively but as is often the case I realised it needed a figurative element. I stumbled on the image of this model and knew it was perfect. It was puzzling for some time trying to understand her relationship to these snakes but eventually I realised she was sort of hypnotizing them.”
