Portland artist Kate Macdowell sculpts these porcelain figures of humanity and nature intersecting to create beautiful and surreal hybrid forms that have been dissected to expose the bizarre anatomical details within, such as human skeletons inside animals and organs with plants growing from them or insects crawling on them.
