Description: | The posture of this snake suggests it has just struck or is about to. The front section of the body is upright and its tongue is revealed between open jaws. Although the appearance of this piece bears a resemblance to a snake, its making was more abstract, and grew from working with the materials. The title came later and is an interpretation of an Ashanti proverb. The puff adder is used metaphorically to suggest that it is possible to achieve an aim which might seem to be impossible at first. | License: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/about/copyright/ | Rights holder: | Tyne & Wear Museums | Subjects: | beyond the North East craft makers ceramics other cultures contemporary craft | Source: | Tyne and Wear Imagine | Identifier: | http://www.imagine.org.uk/details/index.... | Go to resource |
