This planter is based on Grayson Perry’s Forest Spirit Alan (2022), an artwork featured in 'Grayson’s Art Club: The Exhibition'. The artist notes "This is Alan Measles, my teddy bear god, channelling the anger of the rainforest flora and fauna. We talk of saving the planet but the earth and many species will survive, it’s the human race that is likely to die out because of climate change. This sculpture is influenced by the pre-Columbian pottery of the Chancay culture of South America."
