“NOW THE SERPENT WAS MORE CRAFTY THAN ANY OF THE WILD ANIMALS,” 2015

Cast glass; 12″ x 12″ x 4″

Now the serpent was more crafty than any of the wild animals the Lord God had made. He said to the woman, “Did God really say, ‘You must not eat from any tree in the garden’?” — Genesis 3:1

The imagery in this glass roundel came from a vivid dream I had one night, in which masculine and feminine dream symbols entwined in an edenic landscape. A hand-sculpted snake weaves through a bed of berries, encircled by text from the book of Genesis, offering wisdom, healing, growth, and happiness to those who reject confining binaries.
