This delicate, tiny Desert Horned Viper left behind the most striking square-patterned shed. Look closely and you’ll see the faint impressions of tiny horns and eyes, an entire being, briefly encapsulated in its own skin. Embedded in sand-colored clay and ochre earth pigments, the piece echoes the creature’s native landscape, the Saharan desert. It feels like a grand, miniature discovery, one you were lucky enough to stumble upon.
16” x 24” Clay plaster, Desert Horned Viper shed, earth pigments and clay board. Handmade red oak frame.
