James Croak: Based in Sag Harbor, New York, James Croak has produced a distinctive body of sculpture over the past twenty-five years. Using a variety of innovative materials and techniques, including taxidermy, latex rubber, tar and his trademark cast dirt, Croak creates work of presence and feeling.
