Spidermonkeys I sculpture(Stylised Realism )

Description

Spider-monkey species are listed as “Endangered” by either USESA or IUCN. Found in tropical rain forests of Central, South America and Mexico. Weighs 5 to 9kg and can move through trees as fast as a human can run. It has no thumb, but with a very interesting tail that works like a fifth arm making it a super acrobat. Motif: “See, Hear and Speak no evil”. Idiom originally came from idea of “The three wise monkeys” over the Tosho-gu shrine in Nikko, Japan with various meanings including associations with being of good mind, speech and action. Our actions towards our neighbour. The 3 monkeys also plays on the idea that we need to act, when we see injustice, and not to shy away or become complacent.
