Kate MacDowell / sculpture / 2008-2010
MacDowell creates porcelain sculptures of heartbreaking anatomic beauty. The subjects range from delicate autopsies of birds, rabbits, etc. to a specimen’esque views of internal human organs. In all cases, her intimately realistic renditions evoke deeper metaphors of mortality – each a solemn confirmation of mankind’s intrinsic bond with even the smallest earthly disquiet.
Now this is what I call sculpture. Breathtaking!
