Monkey Pots Installation 2004, Montalvo, Saratoga, CA "For this installation at Montalvo, Fay will introduce the monkey pot, a fruit originally from Amazon but transplated to the tropical and subtropical regions of the world. The name of the fruit refers to its pot lot-like shape that holds a seed so enticing to monkeys that their heads often become stuck in the fruitt as they try to obtain it. The monkey pots and their seeds become " a loaded metaphor for getting caught up in our desires". -Excerpt from the exhibition Brochure
