Scottie Dog with a Long Tail — Blue and Yellow

Scottie Dog with a Long Tail — Blue and Yellow reduces the figure of a dog to an arch and two angular forms. Its vivid blue surface and contrasting yellow tail give the sculpture the immediate appeal of a toy or a contemporary design object. The foam components are joined with magnets, making assembly part of the work’s visual language.

The sculpture belongs to a series about how dogs are seen today: cherished as living companions, yet also styled and displayed as extensions of personal taste. Its playful appearance carries a less comfortable question: when does affection for an animal turn into treating it like a fashion accessory?
