I created this piece for Arch Enemy Arts ‘Predator Prey’ exhibition. Inspiration came from the Spider-tailed horned viper. The snakes tail tip resembles a spider and is moved in a way to mimic such. The unwitting bird sees the spider as prey and alas, predator turns into prey when the snake strikes.
The carnivorous plants play the same role.

A real battle scene. The rough inspiration behind this piece was our willingness to make snap judgements without the full picture, cancel culture in a nutshell. I like that you can put your own story to this, the little birds can be the heroes, fighting to save their fellow, or maybe they’re the antagonists and the caught bird is collateral?

‘Veil’
The story of the nightingale, so fearful of snakes, she leant upon a rose bush to keep herself vigilant throughout the night and avoid attack. Unfortunately for her, the sharp thorns or the rose posed as much of a threat as the villains waiting below, and in many other folklore tales, the thorns ultimately brought about her demise.
This piece brings about the idea of friend or foe, where the nightingale entrusted the rose to protect her from the snakes, but, her trust was in fact misplaced. In this world, we have to make constant decisions about who will support us, and who will ultimately try to deny us, and often, it can be too late before we realise. This little nightingale however, saw the threat early and used her wings to escape, as sometimes, we all need a happy ending.
