Serpentine Tapestries

My take on an ancient picture of a pagan greek snake symbol. The serpent is a symbol of knowledge, dualism and balance. Also, rebirth, intuition, protection, transformation and the occult.

Every year since 2000 the Serpentine Gallery in London's has commissioned a temporary summer pavilion by a leading architect. The series presents the work of an international architect or design team who has not completed a building in England at the time of the Gallery's invitation. Each Pavilion is completed within six months and is situated on the Gallery's lawn for three months for the public to explore. Diébédo Francis Kéré is an award winning architect from Burkina Faso and set up the Kéré Foundation; dedicated to help Gando, Burkina Faso serve as a hub of innovation in agriculture, education, infrastructure and sanitation. In 2017 the Serpentine Galleries commissioned Kéré to design the Serpentine Pavilion in London.

Immerse yourself in the surreal with "Serpentine Encounters," a mind-bending retro comic-style design that blends elements of sci-fi and horror. At the forefront stands a woman with bangs and straight hair, donning a jacket with a peculiar collar housing a sinister tube from which emerges a demonic snake. The snake's menacing presence juxtaposes against the woman's face, obscured by an oval shape adorned with stars and radiant light, evoking a sense of cosmic mystery. Behind her, a circular portal reveals an otherworldly scene—a landscape of spired stone structures under a turbulent starry night sky, hinting at alien realms and hidden depths. This design invites viewers into a surreal journey of intrigue and fascination.

Historically, snakes have been used to represent power, protection, renewal, and eternity. This digitally drawn mandala is an example of a rotational tessellation.

A simple design inspired by the song "Serpents" by Sharon Van Etten.
