Kate Macdowell

Artist Kate MacDowell creates sculptures that respond to environmental stressors including  climate change, toxic pollution, and gm crops. She takes the concept of  these environmental issues and fuses them with myths, art history,  figures of speech and other cultural touchstones to achieve these  striking porcelain pieces of art. Often mixing aspects of man and nature  in one piece she portrays the friction and discomfort with the   disturbing implication that we too are  vulnerable to being victimized  by our destructive practices.
