Artist Statement: I was interested in the concept of a snare as a trap, or the meaning of the verb ‘to ensnare’. I wanted to create a beautiful trap that entangles its victims by the lure of a mesmerizing false promise that is not obviously sinister until closer inspection. The best-laid traps are enticing, or baited; you walk right into them. Snare is such a trap, as much as it is intricate, deliberate and carefully built—just like an elaborate lie.
