Departed Vervet Sculpture

Lisa Black is a Sculptor, Jeweller and Artist based in Auckland, New Zealand, born in Australia in 1982. Her love of animals and their form, combined with a preoccupation with an imminent future where technology and biology are intimately combined, led her to create her ongoing series of modified animals. Her works have been featured in , , , , Pilot Magazine, Marie Claire as well as a myriad of other prominent blogs and publications. Her work is a reflection of our undeniable technological progression; seeing animals with carefully integrated mechanical additions encourages us to reassess how we define "natural". By creating beauty within this supposed paradox, she challenges the concept of a world separated into the 'sacrosanct' natural and 'vulgar' industrial.
