Nature crawls up

“Plague,’’ by Massachusetts artist Bruce Armitage, in the group show “Build and Lay Bare,’’ at Boston Sculptors Gallery, through Feb. 20.

The gallery says:

“Armitage’s playful yet foreboding ceramic sculpture depicts a classical figure atop a high plinth. Gazing upward, he is oblivious to the plague of colorful frogs ascending from below, laying bare humans’ neglect of nature.’’
