====Other work====
While the Geological Coreium has been largely created and cast as bronze limited editions, the sculptor's private focus of work since the year 2000 has been creating original one-of-a-kind sculptures. These original designs carry forward the artist's earliest intention to evince a plethora of visionary conceptions imagined since the 1970s. Such sculptures are classed as originals alongside M.L. Snowden's scaled installation enlargements. Housed in both public and private domains, M.L. Snowden's original sculptures are known to be cast in bronze along with other mediums including carved marble, Safran Argile Cuite and other advanced ceramic mediums.
