Object Details
- Artist
- Judy Kensley McKie, born Boston, MA 1944
- Exhibition Label
- Inspired by West African throne chairs, Judy McKie’s wooden settee is animated by the cast bronze monkeys that form its arms and back. The stylized creatures have an air of mystery—are they friendly, menacing, or a bit of both? Such enigmatic animals are a hallmark of McKie’s functional furniture.
