Porcelain sculptures by Kate MacDowell

Strikingly beautiful, her works are very thought provoking. Pulling inspiration from environmental degradation, mythology, art history and other disciplines, Wilson says in her artist’s statement, “I see each piece as a captured and preserved specimen, a painstaking record of endangered natural forms and a commentary on our own culpability.” The subjects of her sculptures range from delicate autopsies of birds, rabbits, etc. to a specimen’esque views of internal human organs.
