🐍 "Snake Reclamation" by Ryan Doran: A Woodland Spirits Installation
A meditation on 5 x 8 preserved mixed-media moss art, "Snake Reclamation" captures the profound power of nature's cycles—transformation, resilience, and rebirth.
Encased in a sleek, black wood frame, this Woodland Spirits installation presents a striking and intimate tableau. A lush, vibrant bed of preserved moss forms the foundation, creating a deep, verdant miniature ecosystem that remains perpetually in its prime.
Emerging from this timeless green landscape are delicate snake skeletons, meticulously arranged. These fragile, bony forms stand as powerful symbols of the natural world's capacity for renewal. The snake, a universal emblem of shedding the past and embracing a new beginning, is 'reclaimed' by the enduring life force of the moss.
