A striking serpent, brought to life through the ancient art of marbling and the precision of hand-cutting.
Nichola Daunton creates each snake illustration using a meticulous double marbling technique - marbling the paper not once, but twice to build depth, complexity and richness of pattern. She then carefully hand cuts the snake form, revealing the flowing, sinuous lines that move along its curving body.
Each snake is mounted on A3 paper, ready to frame.
The double marbling technique creates depth you won't find in a single pass - colours overlap and interact, giving each snake its own character. Combined with the fluid lines of the hand-cut form, these pieces have a life of their own.
Working from her studio in North East London, Nichola uses traditional marbling methods passed down through centuries. The process is unpredictable - she can guide the pigments, but never fully control them. That's what makes each snake unique.
