UK artist Kendra Haste creates these incredibly detailed and realistic animal sculptures using just layers of painted galvanised wire on top of a steel framework. Chicken wire is, according to the Royal College of Art graduate, an overlooked medium which has the potential to suggest contour, volume, weight and lightness, solidity and transparency, making it perfect for accurately representing animals. Her sculptures not only look like the animals they represent, but seem to also portray the animals’ characters and essence, and look very much like they’re just about to move. See more of Kendra’s work in this online gallery, or see a selection of her work in the flesh at the Tower of London, where it will be displayed until 2021.
