Offering a heavy hand of disrespectful humor striped with sympathy, Kate Clark’s sculptures ask viewrs to ignore pretense to apperhend the thought of emotional insecurity. Although the artist embarks on a voyage toeards wicked and repelling audience as they identify and reject the thing’s presence, it because she works with previously living creatures that Kate also able to infuse an weird warmth and familiarity to Clark’s work on a primitive level. Humans are derived from animalistic wildness, yet like her sculptures we live behind a mask of docile subordination – we are the complicated monster, we are the urbane wild.
