As mentioned earlier I will try to write this blog more often telling more about specific pieces I have created or just reflecting on my artistic process. So this one is about the Grass snake - a 12-meter herbarium installation displayed in the Devil's lake show at Cesis Art Festival.
While at the opening of the show I was observing people from afar and noticed that this work catches the most of the attention and becomes a conversation starter more than any of the photographs.
These are bodies of the grass snakes that I collected last Summer on the asphalt road next to the entrance to the lake (within 2 km) that were drown over by cars passing by. There were two unexpectedly warm winters in the row so the snake population grew immensely and I was struck by the number of bodies on the road. This year the winter was cold so there are not many snakes on the road this Summer
