Marsha Pels, Towards Bethlehem, 2021
Patined cast iron, steel, leather, rubber
58 × 28 × 36 inches
Unique

In the wake of 5.15 million human deaths worldwide, both artists have chosen to depict animals instead of humans for their apocalyptic tableau. Towards Bethlehem, 2021, is a cast iron playground pony fused with a fabricated steel replica of the walker Pels used during her recovery from a hip replacement during the first few months of the pandemic. A modified Israeli child’s gas mask adorns the infantile/geriatric ‘Horsewoman of the Apocalypse’ for protection while acknowledging the dangers of increased militarization.
