I found you
on the bike path Crushed.
Like a snake charmer I posed you into a secret language.

GHOST SNAKES Sherry Bradshaw

I collect specimens that wash up on the lakeshore, strike windows, get hit on the road, or attach themselves to dead trees. I pose them and mold them in a manner that magnifies detail, texture and fragility. I create casts from these molds in resin or porcelain clay. I transform them via unexpected arrangements turning their original identities into something magical, yet absurd. These findings guide my entire art practice, as I work to revive the unliving.
