The work’s retracing of historical events through its ‘council’ of human-animal hybrid characters are presented independently as sculpture, through photographs and a limited-edition art book. The bronze figures reference the poses and scale of The Mourners, a series of 14th and 15th century alabaster sculptures of monks and clerics encircling a tomb. These embodiments of late medieval devotion inspire the Larson’s characters as they are also found presented in various locales throughout Europe. With eighteen figures in all, their animal heads reveal themselves to be among various endangered species.
Dimensions: 2" x 6.5"
Note: Each Fine Art book comes in its own personal cotton cloth bag.
