Rattlesnake Charmer
Matted Giclee Print on Paper, Signed
The hypnotic stare of the snake charmer promises secrets to behold, but she's flanked by two outturned palms guarding her like sentries and warning against all those that dare to enter. It's this passionate, unexpected connection that gives the work such power. Haardt own gypsy lifestyle is reflected in her wildly eclectic collages that utilize found objects, scraps of old wallpaper, photographs, and her own hand to create richly layered trips deep into the psyche.
