Zootopia

In Zootopia Kate Rohde presents several new and reworked pieces inspired by the historical Wunderkammer - shells, gems, corals, and a menagerie of beasts fused together in a zoomorphic soup. Rohde’s imaginative and fanciful sculptures fuse museological documentation with a Rococo and Baroque aesthetic.

Created from a range of sculptural techniques, within these works are artificial representations of the natural. Here the use of inventive materials conveys an unusual beauty, nature reimagined in resin, plaster, and clay, and rendered in a hyper colourful palette. Rohde invites you to enter a realm of fantasy, motivating contemporary discussions regarding ecology, extinction, and preservation.
