Have you ever seen a sculpture so lifelike it seems to breathe? The incredible creations of British artist Kendra Haste blur the line between art and reality. Using galvanized wire mesh, Haste crafts stunning sculptures of wild animals, capturing their essence in a unique and captivating way.
Haste’s sculptures are not just for museums and galleries. Her work finds homes in both public and private collections, bringing a touch of the wild to a variety of spaces. Whether you encounter one of her pieces in a bustling city park or a serene private garden, Haste’s sculptures have the power to transport you to another world, reminding us of the beauty and majesty of the animal kingdom.
What interests me most about studying animals is identifying the spirit and character of the individual creatures. I try to create a sense of the living, breathing subject in a static 3-D form, attempting to convey the emotional essence without indulging in the sentimental or anthropomorphic.
