Scottie Dog with a Long Tail — Blue and Green

Scottie Dog with a Long Tail — Blue and Green builds a dog’s silhouette from three clean geometric forms: a pointed blue head, an arched green body, and an upright green tail. Seen from an angle, the sculpture reveals the depth of its foam components and the balance between its sharp edges and curved opening. Magnets connect the separate pieces.

Its bright colors and simple construction recall a toy or a contemporary design object. Within the Scottie Dog with a Long Tail series, that appealing appearance carries a question about how we value dogs: as living companions, or as objects that express our style and fit into a carefully designed image of everyday life?
