The Snake
Cycle is a series of paintings on paper that were made from 1998 to
2001. Selected pieces are on view on this website- click the images

Trip
Trap,
above, shows bear/mouse characters setting and stumbling over an
elaborate trap. The characters in Wounded
Union, right, are coddling and repairing a snake. Snake
Hunt,
below, is based on a 15th century medieval tapestry that uses
a rabbit hunt as a courtship metaphor.
