Monkey Black Socks
Description: Language is a tool that ordinarily separates man from animal. This understanding was challenged by Koko, a gorilla known for her astonishing use of sign language. Koko understood 2,000 words of spoken English, in addition to her knowledge of more than 1,000 signs. Throughout her life, Koko kept kittens as pets. Koko passed away in her sleep June 2018. This piece represents how I hope Koko is now, free, and with the kittens she loved at her side.

"Monkey Man hungry Chair woman, order pizza! Monkey Man happy"
