This was a joint project intended to exemplify humanity's modern disconnection from Nature. The hunter is wearing modern clothes and exists in a modern setting, yet is using primitive weapons and techniques to 'survive' in a world which has been all but destroyed by Man's inability to live in harmony with the planet.

The wolf in the image is called Teva. She's my personal headdress. She and her sister were both removed from a population in Southeast Alaska by a friend of mine who works with the State Fish and Wildlife Department in population control.

Once Teva was tanned so that she could not rejoin the Earth, I purchased her to make her into the headdress above. Due to some damage to the leather and a missing rear foot, her hide was not deemed suitable for traditional taxidermy and would be otherwise bound for the fur market to be made into clothing instead.

She is the first wolf I ever mounted, and I’m very pleased with the way she turned out considering. From start to finish, it seemed that Teva’s creation from tanned pelt to finished headdress came together like a dream.

Photography by Teddy Anderson. Editing and taxidermy by me.

It's so strange how this can be beautiful and disturbing at the same time.

You are a beautiful amazing person and I saw your comment to that girl on Tumblr and I'd just like to say you're awesome.
Also, I love this headdress. This is the prettiest headdress I have ever seen *standing ovation*

You make me want to get back into archery <3

Btw, brilliant idea. Are you two going to make this into a print book perhaps? Or sell the prints at all? Maybe make posters or something?

Not sure what I'll do with the prints. For now, they're just for online sharing and such. :)
