Created by conceptual artist Peter Eudenbach, Chimera is a unique gift that appeals to everyone by transforming one of the most familiar objects of the season into a witty, unexpected holiday decoration.The title refers to the mythological or biological fusion of two forms but the object itself is symbolic of more far-reaching notions.In anticipation of the winter solstice, rebirth is in the wings and Chimera can be seen as an egg ready to hatch.Perhaps the greatest inadvertent reference is to Meret Oppenheim's Traccia bird table that is one of the most historically-significant examples of an artist fusing two forms – one biological, the other material – to create a third, other entity.
