Milwaukee-based artist Cassandra Smith makes beautiful, grotesque, and intoxicating sculptures using lots of sequins, patterning, and animal parts. There is something ironic in all this, but the pieces are also quite haunting and the love of design quite sincere. The work feels more meaningful than just the simple shock of looking at an ornately decorated dead animal (real or fake). There is something playful, something serious, and a ton of attention to detail, ridiculous and rich.
