Mitsy Groenendijk’s monkey sculptures reflect a human need to control nature. Human characteristics are sometimes easier to examine if demonstrated on some “other”, and the monkey is the perfect foil for our foibles. It does not take long for the viewer’s eye to adapt to the image of the monkey in place of the women or girls that would have, or should have, been Rosy, Tina and the Kindred Spirits.
