The work features hand-dyed fabric with stitched, coil-like shapes and holes with vintage fur squeezing through the permeable surface. Pops of neon green and golden fur excrete through openings, bursting to expand out into space. Nearby swirls of sewn thread move in repetitive circles, the way bacteria move, known as “random walking,” swirling and tumbling to reorient themselves.

Kate Casanova’s hyper-tactile sculptures seep and ooze a foreign, yet strangely familiar, sensibility at every crevice, coil and pore. The artist’s practice is entrenched in exploring the depths of what a human and non-human body can be. Her works are pluralistic and in process, shapeshifting into new forms that defy categorization and refuse to be fixed or defined. The work continues Casanova’s exploration of abstract, biomorphic forms that challenge binaries and notions of hybridity. Her large and small-scale sculptures embrace the boundlessness of being just one thing, toeing the line between human/non-human, hard/soft and organic/synthetic.
