The
Snake Handler Bronze Sculpture "The serpent is a recurrent figure in religious beliefs, ceremonies and cultures. From the snake charmers of the East, to the fertility ceremonies of the Hopi, snake handling is commonly a gesture of faith in a supreme god-like power and viewed as an act of defiance to the same power. My exposure to collections of the Museum of Fine arts in Boston and trips to Greece, give rise to the Minoan feel of the piece. This particular snake charmer came straight out of my dreams — I'm sure we've all had a few snakes cross our paths more than once in our lifetimes." Claudia Cohen |
