Who is the boss

Gluella Devine, paper collage (27.5 x 47 cm)

Gluella Devine, paper collage (27.5 x 47 cm)

The last potato on earth realizes his full potential. He can rule the world instead of being at the bottom of the food chain. He is convincing all pigeons, cats and humanity to not eat him because he is the only one that can save them from starvation by multiplying; producing as many baby potatoes as possible to feed them all.

Gluella Devine is a wrinkled old woman with too much time on her hands, living with many cats in a small slightly ramshackle old villa in Central Athens that hasn't quite caught up with the times. She is agoraphobic and never leaves the house. It made her a bit of a hoarder that can't even say goodbye to her dead cats. The roof terrace became a collage of little cat coffins where she likes to sunbathe nude while eating grapes straight from the vines that grow out of the coffins. She went to art college years and years ago but inherited a small fortune from a distant aunt and so has never really needed to exert herself too much. Since early age she makes art collages of whatever she has in the house and hangs them on the outside walls of her house. Her huge art collages with leftover Vegetals, are famous in the whole of Athens, mainly for their rotten stink.
