Lisa Black is an artist based in Auckland New Zealand. Her current series of sculptures entitled “Fixed” combines taxidermy creatures and mechanical parts to form beautiful amalgamations of natural and industrial parts.

“Despite what one might think, Lisa’s work is driven by a desire to celebrate the beauty of animals. She is a highly passionate person with a deep respect for the animal kingdom. Her work is also somewhat influenced by the trans-humanist movement, a belief that is helping humanity embrace the use of technology on an intimate level.” -Formatmag.com

“Lisa Black has finally updated the animals around us with some much-needed upgrades. Mechanical eyes, gears in torsos, and a few bolts for good measure. Instead of just doing the traditional taxidermy, she recreates creatures in a fantastic new way.” -Instructables.com
