Benedetto Pietromarchi’s ceramics blur the line between the natural and the man-made, and highlight humankind’s impact on the environment. Untitled is a ceramic plaque featuring creatures emerging from a raging frothy sea. Pietromarchi’s monkey-like beings ride the waves like Neptune in the stories of antiquity. Their agile bodies flail and flounder as they contend with nature’s fiercest force.
