A dark little twist on the inner life of hunting trophies

With a name that smacks of an Old West movie, check out Brooke Weston's strange twist on the inner world of trophy mounts. The Oregon-based artist works with recycled taxidermy and other found materials to create miniature dioramas in the heads hunting tropies. On her website, she writes that she gathers inspiration from fairy tales, and you can tell. For all the supposed sweetness of a cosy miniature abode, the little worlds have a darkly creepy aura. Who lives here?
