Kate Clark is a New York-based sculptor, residing and working in Brooklyn. Her work synthesizes human faces with the bodies of animals, the signature component in all of her work. These sculptures study the tension between personal and mythical realms, and draw a fine line between the characteristics of animals and humans. Kates preferred medium is actual animal hide. Mary Logan Barmeyer says Clarks work is meant to make you think twice about what it means to be human, and furthermore, what it means to be animal. Writer Monica Ramirez-Montagut says Clarks works reclaim storytelling and vintage techniques as strategies to address contemporary discourses on welfare, the environment, and female struggles.
