Brooklyn-based taxidermist-artist puts human faces on animal skins. The artist uses a model who is sitting there curious about this white clay being applied to a standard form and pushed around to resemble her own face. At length, at session's end the model gets up and sees herself with an animal form. "The ears and the antlers are a little surprising to me. They take me closer to the animals."
Cervine ears and antlers projecting outrageously around your head will do that.
Kate says some people thank her for the nightmares others simply say thank you. The link is seen posted on Ace of Spades sidebar with the title, here's something to fuel your nightmares. It is not required an artist be mad as a brush but I suppose it helps. From the start, the first words, Kate cannot be regarded as rational. It is unusual to hear each sentence contradict the previous in succession like this. Don't try to follow, each utterance is its own curlicue.
I don't buy fresh hides.
I buy hides that no one has used.
And I'm repurposing them for my artworks."
How interesting. You are an interesting person, Kate. These words, "fresh," "no one has used," and "repurpose," what do they mean?
