A few words about the piece
Rattle Snek captures the form and spirit of a rattlesnake in repose. Whittled from a single piece of wood, the body curves organically; the tail’s precise segmentation suggests a classic rattle. Subtle staining creates the illusion of scales and shadow, adding depth without obscuring material simplicity.
Set against speckled granite, the piece juxtaposes organic craft with modern texture. The head lifts slightly, posture mid-slither’— a pause before motion.
Equal parts folk art and nature study, Rattle Snek celebrates hand tools and close observation. In miniature, this snek still holds its ground.
