After 2 sell-out shows at The Letham Gallery, Martin Horspool returns with more of his amusing sculptures, assembled from discarded retro objects.

The man who brought us Retrobots has now built a series of taxidermy style trophy heads, mixing deer antlers with vintage drills and industrial salvage, carefully drilled and bolted together.

“The Trophy Room” is an array of imaginary animals, mounted onto wall plaques, with names like Gazelle, Sabre 2000 and Tanner. Each trophy is a single character and each one possesses a charm and personality that only Martin can create with his whimsical trade mark use of other peoples junk, cast offs and skip treasure.

As with Retrobots, the fun is attempting to identify what discarded object is incorporated in each finished sculpture.
