Where do the walls of the museum go when they are forgotten? And, 2021

Glazed ceramic, oil paint, canvas

Eyal’s caterpillar sculptures appear as grotesque yet vividly colored ceramic creatures, each attached to scraps cut from his original drawing of the horse that died on his family farm. Imagined as caterpillars that once consumed the artworks inside a fictional museum, these hybrids of creature and fragment embody memory in a state of transformation—constantly eating, shedding, and remaking what survives.

The torn canvas to which the caterpillar is sewn is Eyal’s interpretation of Théodore Géricault’s work Dead Horse (1823).
