‘Apollo and the Snake’ takes its inspiration from three iconic pieces of sculpture linked through time; Michelangelo's Dying and Bound slaves, and Laocoon and Sons, the sculpture infamously excavated before the eyes of the young Michelangelo in Rome at the height of the Renaissance. Three sculptures that deal with the agony of being bound, of dying, and of freedom. Forms shift and flow one into another, losing the personality, the humanity of the bodies, to be replaced by the iconography of the Snake. Metamorphosis as a series, as well deals with both the physical act of Metamorphosis that takes place in all art-making, as well as the ever shifting iconograhpies of human culture. The presence of a snake has connoted an act of evil for two thousand years thanks to the intervention of Christian traditions, yet snake goddess cults that pre-date christianity have been found across the world from the Minoan civilization to the Persian Middle east and Ancient Egypt, leading archaeologists to surmise that snakes have been central to many belief systems, both in the act of guarding sacred spaces, and in their practice of shedding their skins, symbolizing an act of rebirth.
