David Farrer

My favoured subject matter is ecological, having a strong interest in 'green' matters. My work reflects this. The recycled head concept came about in 1995 while working in South Africa. Over the years I have travelled extensively in this part of the world and never cease to be amazed by its beauty and abundant wildlife…. There are admirable wildlife protection policies in operation, yet hunting and specifically trophy gathering remains big business too. I decided to bridge the gap by producing a 'recycled trophy' that would satisfy the urge to hang an animal head on the wall but promote pro-ecological thought.…Although the idea was born in Africa I have diversified into European and North American beasts, which to some sections of the public have more familiar appeal.
