Domestic trophies

These deer trophies are hand made by the designer Rachel Denny, and they are a playful contrast to the classic (and ugly) trophies of real animals people have in their homes all over the world. She is very interested in our complex perceptions of the natural world and the expectations we place in our surroundings. "We long for a sense of peace and rejuvination from being out in the forest and are drawn to the wildness of the natural world, yet spend vast quantities of our spare time taming our personal surroundings. The little square of land we live on becomes our private Eden that we can shape to our own liking...", she says. I think she has an interesting approach to this, and it is decorative, too! If you want one yourself, you can buy them here. (I love the bunny by the way!)
