The Tool Rests, the Snake Remains is a one-of-a-kind Original painting on a reclaimed antique hand saw by UK wildlife and nature artist Liisa Clark.
Once a working tool, the saw has been transformed into a contemplative artwork where a gentle corn snake coils across the metal blade. Corn snakes are often misunderstood creatures, yet they are known for their calm nature and curiosity. In this piece the snake becomes a symbol of quiet continuation rather than threat.
The work forms part of Liisa Clark’s exploration of nature reclaiming man-made objects. Tools once used to shape the landscape become surfaces for wildlife imagery, suggesting that when human work ends, the natural world continues its patient rhythms.
Painted in oil directly onto the metal blade of a reclaimed vintage saw, the piece combines traditional wildlife painting with the textures and history of found materials. The result is a unique reclaimed object artwork that sits between sculpture, painting and symbolic object.
This artwork also echoes elements of the memento mori tradition, gently acknowledging cycles of life, transformation and renewal.
An unusual and thought-provoking piece for collectors interested in wildlife art, symbolism and reclaimed materials.
