Animal sculptures by Beth Cavener that depict the extremes of human nature

Washington-based artist Beth Cavener explores the extremes of human nature through her anthropomorphic artworks made from clay and other materials, who collaborated with some artists to sculpt human-sized animals that express the extremes of both human emotion and animalistic behavior. “On the surface, these figures are simply feral animals suspended in a moment of tension.” Cavener explains, “beneath the surface, they embody the consequences of human fear, apathy, aggression, and misunderstanding.”
