At Permanent Record, we celebrate the solemn beauty and allure of alternative culture, embracing the unconventional with both passion and respect. In our flagship print magazine, we delve into the shadowy worlds of body modification, peculiar taxidermy, gothic horror, bizarre oddities—the kind of stuff polite society turns away from and only whispers about. And now, with this podcast, we’re inviting you to a seat at the corner table, where the protagonists that fill our pages break bread with our editorial team. Welcome to the realm where we celebrate the beauty of the misunderstood. This is the Permanent Record Podcast.

    Kate Clark

    Kate Clark is a multimedia artist who uses taxidermy and sculpture to create a beautifully weird world — one full of hybrid creatures that don’t make us recoil, but instead, invite us to see ourselves reflected in the animal kingdom. Kate joins Gerard to discuss her creative process, pushing against taboo, and how one of her pieces ended up in a Kanye West video.
