The Dancing Serpent

The Dancing Serpent

The Dancing Serpent is a 30 foot long wind-powered mobile made from steel and glass and fire. The serpent's material construction and overall weight are belied by its flawless balance and delicate movement, matching its graceful organic form.

What inspired you to make this project?:
I have traditionally been an artist of smaller proportions, but wanted to test my skills of engineering, learning and innovation with a much larger project. This project assembled all my talents in stained glass, metalworking, fire plumbing, engineering and design and caused me to grow broadly as an artist. I embarked on the project out of an innate desire to create, to learn, and to test my accumulated skills. This project was built with the help of a crew who also brought diverse skillsets to the table and would not have been possible without their help.
