Inspired by the Western Diamondback Rattlesnake, and armed with detailed photos of the snakes taken on my numerous trips to Arizona and the south-west USA, I'm creating a large sculpture of a rattlesnake tail.
After various sketches and designs were made, a working model was created in the studio.
The model will be used to establish measurements and templates for the final sculpture. This will be over 15ft in height, constructed of metal, and stand on public display in front of the Chiricahua Desert Museum, Rodeo, New Mexico.
