    Happy Hunting Grounds | 2014

The happy hunting ground is believed to be the name given to the concept of the afterlife by several of the great plains Native American tribes. It is an afterlife conceived of as a paradise in which hunting is plentiful and game unlimited. Starting from this idea, "Happy Hunting Grounds" comprises a series of contemporary still lifes or animal hunting scenes that attempt to “resuscitate” animals processed for human consumption in a faux bucolic setting, an artificial wilderness composed of disposable food containers. The series consists of six pieces so far.
