Kate Clark’s Twist on Taxidermy

Kate Clark, in a studio near Brooklyn Navy Yard, houses a variety of strange taxidermies . The interesting thing about her animals is that they all have human faces which have been sculpted from clay. She then uses the animal’s own facial skin to cover the faces. Kate uses recycled hides that are considered imperfect for trophy mounts.

“In the Western World, humans are so separated that we have no reason to connect with [wild] animals anymore,” Kate says. “We have become so other.” In fact, she says that most people don’t even realize that she often changes the sex of the animals. Going through her sculptures you will see female faces with antlers attached—an appendage usually sported only by male animals. “Something as straightforward as that doesn’t even register, because our understanding of the natural world isn’t very good anymore,” she says.
