Scottie Dog with a Long Tail — Red and Green

Scottie Dog with a Long Tail — Red and Green transforms a dog’s silhouette into three bold geometric forms. A red triangular head meets a vivid green body and tail; the arch beneath the body suggests legs without depicting them literally. Made from colored foam and joined with magnets, the sculpture has the visual immediacy of a toy and the clean lines of a design object.

Part of the Scottie Dog with a Long Tail series, the work examines the way dogs can become symbols of taste and lifestyle. Its appealing colors draw the viewer closer, then raise a question: how does our perception of a living companion change when we begin to see it as something to style and display?
