Strange Anatomy: The Stunning Art of Kate MacDowell
Albert Stern
Kate MacDowell creates fantastic anatomy based sculptures. She blends natural elements such as animals, birds, and plants with human anatomy. The combinations are all so well executed that they all look, well, perfectly natural!
From her artist statement,
"I chose porcelain for its luminous and ghostly qualities as well as its strength and ability to show fine texture. It highlights both the impermanence and fragility of natural forms in a dying ecosystem, while paradoxically, being a material that can last for thousands of years and is historically associated with high status and value."
