About the Item
This capsized tortoise was hand-built in porcelain by New York artist, Bethany Krull. Among the larger of her porcelain pieces it is built solid with over 50 pound of clay on a custom wooden armature. Once the form is complete the artist painstakingly cuts the piece apart, hollows out the interior clay to a wall thickness of half and inch and then reassembles the entire now-hollow form. Each and every seam then needs to be covered and hidden before the final surface texture is meticulously applied dot by dot with slip trailed porcelain. The fissure in the overturned turtle's shell sprouts new life, a tiny meadow of artificial grass popping up through the crack which illustrates the fragility of nature but also its perseverance and resilience.

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.
