Kate Casanova

 

Kate Casanova challenges traditional figurative art by exploring the multi-faceted nature of the body in her sculptures.

Deepskin

Kate Casanova is an interdisciplinary artist who explores the "posthuman" through sculpture and video. Her work challenges perceived binaries such as human/nonhuman and organic/synthetic to create an expanded view of the human body.
