Kate Clark

A personal favourite 3D artist of mine, Kate specialises in Taxidermy but with a twist, using the face of the animal hide to make a human face, always made from a life model who may sleep easy knowing their faces will feed curiosity(or fear) when anyone looks at these pieces, however Kate has often said what she does not want from her work is for it to be 'monstery'(fig 2) meaning she doesn't want it to be considered animal, but more another step from humans, a missing link that fits in or something misplaced but familiar.

(Fig 1)

To me her work gives a sense of belonging, all are posed so that they look like they are in motion or just going through daily lives as they wood, laying down, running, jumping, looking to one another for reassurance, it is very odd but you cannot look away.
