About the Item
This playful piece created by New York artist, Bethany Krull, depicts a vibrantly colored paper-mache chameleon with glass marble eyes clinging to the back of an equally vibrant yellow wooden chair. The habitat of this jungle dwelling creature has undergone a dramatic transformation from a wild and growing tree, to a cut, sculpted and stationary chair spotlighting the dichotomy between wild and tame, interior and exterior and real and surrogate habitats. The process of building the chameleon begins with an interior armature of junk-mail paper otherwise destined for the landfill which is then skinned with a unique clay-like paper-mache recipe developed by the artist. The textural skin of the creature is created by painstakingly slip trailing a signature gesso recipe dot by dot onto the surface of the sculpture before the final paint job of electric yellow, orange and teal.

Bethany Krull
Bethany Krull creates porcelain and mixed media sculptures rooted in an exploration of the complicated relationships between humans, fellow animals, and the rest of the natural world. Krull's work investigates the intricate connections and resilience exhibited by even the most fragile of creatures.We are reminded that growth pushes forth from decay, and that the cycle of life and death are emphatically entwined. Acknowledging the ongoing Holocene or sixth extinction, Krull's creations remind us that every moment calls for both mourning and celebration.
