The liquid fills out all the pathways of the colony, little meticulous tunnels that the ants have dug. You clean out the surrounding dirt and you have this single figure of suspended Time and ant labor unearthed from under ground.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEamon Monaghan’s wall sculptures belong in a lineage of underground artwork from the end of the last century. Underground cartoonists like R. Crumb’s heavily stippled environments are predecessors to Eamon’s clay mark-making. Underground animators like Bruce Bickford’s undulating and melting claymation scenes are predecessors to the movement and malleability of Eamon’s knotted vignettes. This wall work might be what underground theorist Manny Farber referred to as termite art, methodically chipping away at the composition in darkness, eating its own boundaries, nothing in its path other than signs of eager, industrious, unkempt activity.\"\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eChurro Knot, 2025    \u003cbr\u003eCardboard, tinfoil, aluminum wire, papier-mâche, watercolor    \u003cbr\u003e48\" x 25\" x 8\"\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Eamon Monaghan","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":42465012187226,"sku":null,"price":4500.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0590\/3643\/4522\/files\/Eamon_Monaghan_Churro_Knot.jpg?v=1762918306"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.workingloose.com\/collections\/eamon-monaghan.oembed","provider":"Working Loose","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
