The Katie Sanford collection at OPUS is comprised of the sixty-two original oil paintings that appear in The Serpent and the Cross as well as personal correspondence, drafts, sketches, watercolors, published works, and audio lectures.
Her published work, The Serpent and the Cross includes representations of all sixty-two paintings as well as accompanying poems, explanations, and excerpts from the dreams that inspired her art. “By relating to the archetypal forces that formerly enslaved me, the terrible split between Spirit and Nature, conscious and unconscious, could be reconciled. In forging a relationship to the transpersonal phantoms that haunted the underworld of my psyche, those god-like forced have brought meaning to my life. They support and nourish me as I pursue my own unique journey here on earth” (The Serpent and The Cross, p. 131).
