Trophy (Ursula the Cow) I
A meticulously crafted sculptural work by Daniel Oates, *Trophy (Ursula the Cow) I* presents a cow's head as a mounted hunting trophy, rendered in polyester resin, urethane foam, latex, wood, steel, and painted fiberglass. The piece is embellished with acrylic yarn and extruded polystyrene, combining industrial and craft materials to create a work that is simultaneously humorous and unsettling. By elevating a domesticated farm animal to the status of a prized trophy, Oates invites reflection on themes of commodification, animal agriculture, and the cultural rituals surrounding hunting and display.
