Kendra Haste creates the most incredible, life-like animal scultpures using layers of painted galvanized wire atop steel armature.
Kendra Haste is a contemporary animal sculptor who uses galvanized wire as her medium to create large and small lifelike creatures. From the muscular body of a lion to the delicate hairs on the monkey’s neck, you will be amazed at how much detail she weaves with what most people
would consider plain chicken wire.“No other material I have ever
used has been able to suggest the sense of movement and life, of contour
and volume, the contrasts of weight and lightness, of solidity and
transparency – values that I find in my natural subjects. It is the
perfect medium, inviting continuing exploration and challenge,” Haste says.Some of her works until 2021 at the Tower of London.
