Stick Snake arrests the eye with its singular, sculptural presence — a weathered form suspended against open white, its textured surface alive with the patina of found material. Flashes of amber, forest green, and deep teal emerge from beneath layers of bark and age, lending the piece an unexpected vibrancy. The sinuous silhouette reads unmistakably as snake — elongated, alert, and quietly commanding. Equally artifact and artwork, it brings an organic, collected quality to interiors that value the unconventional — striking in a gallery wall, a design-forward entryway, or as a standalone object in a curated space.
Sourced from Libby's own 35mm film photography, Stick Snake captures the strange beauty of the overlooked — a found object transformed through close observation into something totemic and alive. The mixed media work on paper is intuitively assembled on 120 lb Legion Stonehenge Paper, creating a visual meditation on texture, discovery, and the wild intelligence hidden in natural form.
