Kate Clark is a New York based artist specializing in sculpture, but her medium is a bit unusual. She works with animal bodies in a bazaar twist of taxidermy, endeavoring to create human-looking faces for the final pose of the creature. Since her rise to art fame, she and her works have been discussed in the Wall Street Journal, New York Times, Cool Hunting, VICE, and more. Her works feature lifelike taxidermy, with an added bit of something familiar – Clark sews the warped facial flesh of the long-dead animals and creates a human face, adding pins to secure her every detail and lifelike, dreamy eyes to finish the piece. Her work is frightening to some, inspiring to others. Regardless, there is tremendous skill involved, and the results cause the viewers to be filled with a curious sense of wonder.
