Kate Clark’s taxidermies

I want to say no, but the high art world is very cruel to the anthropomorphic, as many art critics don't understand the appeal of aesthetic in typical furrybait designs. You do understand that much of what we praise here on this blog is considered low-brow art, right? This classist approach divides the art world on many levels, least of which is the furrybait angle. The uncanniness of this antelope with human features that do not fit Western beauty standards save for the color of the eyes. The naturally thick lips, wide nose, and eyebrow placement would make a phrenologist cringe and fail to see beauty among this animal. As for the art of taxidermy to accomplish this feat, I feel the furrybait becomes less (or more, depending on who you are) appealing. For that sake, I will say this unconventional approach to creation is furrybait and a bridge further than most furries are willing to cross

Artist Research

Kate Clark

The artist who has inspired me the most so far and whos art i enjoy the most has been Kate Clark. She works with taxidermy and synthesizes human faces with the bodies of animals. I’ve been interested in taxidermy and the preservation of creatures for a while and when I came across Kate Clark’s work it immediately clicked with my personal interests and my project. Her pieces create a sense of a slightly funky reality and uneasiness. It very much reminds me of my own work from the monoprint workshop and my mothman sculpture. Again it’s face connects the wild animal with a personality and familiarity which is what I would do with my imagination for play as a little kid.
