Kate Ellis is featured in Carcass: The Death of the Animal at Western Plains Cultural Centre on view between 15 November 2025 – 1 February 2026.

Carcass: The Death of the Animal explores the symbol of the animal carcass within art history, and how humanity’s reaction to this showcases our changing relationship with the natural world. Developed by the Western Plains Cultural Centre Curators and utilising works from its collection, as well as significant loans from the Art Gallery of NSW, the National Gallery of Australia, and the Museum of Contemporary Art, the exhibition explores how the representation of the carcass has transformed from the 17th century through to the 21st, its often-confronting representation, and how we contend with this emotionally and morally. Carcass is an investigation into how we as an audience react to death.
