Kate Clark is unleashing her menagerie on Claire Oliver. She has a set of photos that detail the production of the faces on these hybrids over at kateclark.net.
The artist has managed to capture the animal gaze in these sculptures. There is a strong conceptual current that runs through the work that elevates the content beyond taxidermy. Each and every piece is undeniably creepy but compassion is aroused in the viewer that offsets revulsion.
