Caitlin McCormack is an artist based out of South Philadelphia who sculpts animal skeletons with string and glue. While these eery sculptures may seem simply macabre, there's more to these sculptures than what's present: There are memories, there are empty spaces, there is a family legacy, and all the ways these things change and reconstruct themselves over time.
