About the Item
This piece by New York artist, Bethany Krull depicts a white porcelain monkey clinging to a white porcelain potted topiary tree with a bulbous top made of beautifully textured archival paper-mache. The monkey is hand-built without the use of molds in a super white porcelain with a surface so stunning that it is left unglazed. In contrast, the eyes, nose and fingernails are glazed with a super shiny, wet-looking clear glaze. The pot of the topiary is wheel-thrown in multiple parts. This work is from the artist's "Dominance and Affection" series that explores our society's most intimate connection with the natural world that tends to be with the plants and animals that we have altered through the process of domestication. Wild animals are turned into pets, genetically sculpted into sweeter, cuter, less dangerous versions of themselves. Our homes have become barriers that keep the wild out, yet they are filled with caged animals, potted plants and countless other creatures and representations of the natural world as we strive to give balance and meaning to our technology-laden and, often, nature deprived lives.
