The future of genetic engineering?

These are some of the more haunting and creepy sculptures I've seen in quite a while. The artist must have a great arrangement with some taxidermists, or she spends as much time hunting as she does sculpting.

Genetic engineering and its effects have been a staple of science fiction going back to H.G. Wells's The Island of Dr. Moreau, and many contemporary science fiction novels extrapolate a future in which the extremes of bioengineering hinted at in Clark's sculpture are commonplace in human culture.

I'd rather be a hawk than a goat.
