Serpent of the Lowlands

The Serpent of the Lowlands is one part of the Shrines to Nature public art project Christopher Lutter-Gardella created with the help of community members during Art Block 2020. He transformed buckthorn and wild grape vines into a mythological creature which is a symbol of rebirth, transformation, and healing. This was especially meaningful in the early days of COVID-19. The Serpent was intended to be a temporary installation but it was built so well the park plans to keep it on display indefinitely.
