Animal mounts are often hung as sporting trophies, in TV dens, in home offices, in game rooms. The spellbinding beauty of the animal is perhaps appreciated and revered, or most likely it is passed over as just a home decor choice. The hunter or decorator becomes more celebrated than the animal.



Certainly there is a dark side to our animal trophies. Of course, our home decor is already rife with death; wood, leather, reed baskets, down pillows. Animal mounts simply carry the most obvious signature of fatality. This deer mount is a visual attempt at swapping one kind of triumph for another; a static trophy of sport to a life-filled exaltation of youthful vision. Marsh Queen is an imaginative celebration of what a fawn may see when looking at her loving mother. We adorn our kings and queens with jewels, fine clothes and a seat of honor. Marsh Queen imagines the triumphs of animals, and motherhood.
