Cassandra Smith's repurposed, naturally-shed antler creations are very appealing. I'm not usually much for the use of animal body parts as decoration -- fabricated or natural, I tend to find the implied trophy aspect of it gross. These, however, don't give off any vibe of objectification to me. This is due mostly to Smith's ecological horn gathering, but the thoroughly modern paint job also helps the sculptural intention of these pieces overcome the animal side.
