He remained in the USA threw high school and began university in South Carolina studying philosophy and religious studies. However his interests began to change and philosophical activity began to seem like masturbatory exercise with no climax.
Art offered that voice he was seeking, if not an answer, at least a means to comunicate these ideas that swirled around us in a way both more assessible (it seemed) and less stagnant than threw stale white discourse.
He changed to a double major, of Philosophy and fine arts.
After university Snaden Spent a year in South Korea, Then on to Mexico for a year. Finnally he spent 5 years in the Federated states of Micronesia before returning once more to the USA and settling, at least for now, in New Mexico.

Artistically snaden began sculpting in concrete, mostly large figurative work, however after completing his education, entropy and movement forced his aestetic into smaller and lighter modes.
Korea brought about the use of plastics and manipulated objects, which remained intill the present. But the relative stability of Micronesia nad The Us gave rise to larger more complex work, that combined found and manipulated objects with more traditional sculptural methods in the same piece, a sort of assemblage.
