Trophied by Carolyn Shattuck

Carolyn Shattuck continues her work on endangered species with “Trophied”. Shattuck has created several works in the area of extinction to emphasize the plight of animals that are vulnerable particularly to poaching, loss of habitat and/or manmade hazards.
“Trophied” features lions and painted dogs in Africa. Lions are hunted and “often poached for their body parts which are then used in traditional medicinal remedies or their heads are mounted by trophy hunters as status symbols”. While lions are being poached, the African wild dog is “caught in snares, hit by cars and [are] losing their habitat.”
