John Donovan
Screamin' Eagle with a Broken Beak

2021

About the Item

Paired with GrumbleBear, these large animal-themed heads represent forces of power that enjoy talking over you or each other, always sure that what they are shouting about is more important than anything else. This piece includes a tongue-in-cheek poke at the proliferation of kintsugi repairs going on in popular ceramics these days.
