Scottie Dog with a Long Tail — Pink, Yellow and Green

Scottie Dog with a Long Tail — Pink, Yellow and Green presents a dog through three vivid forms: a pointed pink head, an arched yellow body and an upright green tail. The colored foam pieces are joined by magnets. The open arch suggests the dog’s legs, while the crisp silhouette gives the sculpture the playful clarity of a toy or a design object.

Part of the Scottie Dog with a Long Tail series, this work explores how a living companion can become part of a fashionable image. Its cheerful colors invite an immediate response, then prompt a more difficult question: when a dog is valued for how it looks beside us, what happens to our awareness of the animal itself?
