Rattle Snek is a charming and cleverly executed sculpture capturing the form and spirit of a rattlesnake in repose. Whittled from a single piece of wood, the snake’s sinuous body curves organically across the surface, its tail rendered with precise segmentation to suggest a classic rattle. Subtle staining enhances the illusion of scales and shadow, adding depth to its natural form without detracting from the simplicity of the material.
Set against a speckled granite backdrop, the piece juxtaposes organic craftsmanship with polished modern texture. The rattlesnake’s head lifts slightly, its posture caught mid-slither, evoking a moment of pause before motion.
Equal parts folk art and nature study, Rattle Snek celebrates the humble power of hand tools and close observation. Its scale and stance suggest a reverence for the wild—even in miniature, this snek holds its ground.
