Carolyn Salas’ Trophy engages the idea of the unattainable, the spoils of an impossible hunt. Salas is interested in the point where status become ludicrous, giving her work something oddly humourous, although this is not necessarily an intentional effort. There’s something quite fantastic about her work, which often draws on mythology as a reference. Salas frequently works with surprising materials which require a degree of craftsmanship and patience, such as her rug made from carpet foam (which is a horrible material!).
