Reminiscent of the taxidermy animals at a natural history museum, or a trophy on a hunter’s wall, Courtney Timmermans meticulously constructs wild animal busts from thousands of air rifle BBs. Her body of work is clever and innovative, and her deer was the featured design for the SOFA 2012 t-shirt.
