top Trophies (2 of 3)

Trophies examines man’s fixation with defeating and/or overpowering nature in order to achieve a sense of strength. Using objects that are associated with masculinity, my aim is to produce an alternative to a common and naturally destructive form of trophy-ism; the taxidermy head. By working with elements that still bare the significance of what it means to “be a man”, I can shift the elemental focus from destruction, towards empowerment gained through construction, strategy, and creation.

‘Very true,’ said the Duchess: ‘flamingoes and mustard both bite. And the moral of that is– “Birds of a feather flock together.”’
