Snake in a Garden Oval Vessel
Description
In her own words, Katrin Moye says: "Is there another animal that has so many attributes, both bad and good, attached to it? The entry for the Snake or Serpent in James Halls’ ‘Dictionary of Subjects and Symbols in Art’ runs to a good page and a half, and I’m struck by the similarities between the negative attributes ascribed to the snake and those attached to women throughout history – duplicitousness, cunning, guile and the temptation to evil that are ascribed to both. But the positive attributes of the snake are just as numerous: healing, intelligence, renewal, wisdom, and so on – and I wanted to highlight these qualities as opposed to the bad ones to give the snake a chance for rehabilitation: a kind of ‘me too’ opportunity for the much-maligned snake."
