Fawn Rogers, born in Portland, Oregon in 1974, is a Los Angeles based, is a contemporary artist and environmentalist whose practice merges material transformation with ecological critique. Her sculptures often confront the systems; industrial, agricultural, domestic, through which humans exert control over the natural world, highlighting the violence and excess embedded in everyday life.

CarMeat Moist Heat (2024) is at once brutal and precise: a slab-like form, suspended like butchered flesh, crafted from automotive scrap. Rogers paints, punctures, and reconstructs the car hood into a suspended sculpture that references both the body and the machine. Mounted with meat hooks and a steel trolley system, the work evokes a processing line—a space where animals become product, where metal becomes commodity.

CarMeat Moist Heat becomes a meditation on ecological collapse, industrial violence, and the uneasy aesthetics of sustainability. The work does not moralize, it implicates. It hangs not as a warning, but as evidence.

Rogers’ works are included in numerous public and private collections including Dakis Joannou Collection, Niarchos Family Collection, Pritzker Family Foundation, Lancaster Museum of Art and History (MOAH).
