Our dog we don't know
Piece concept (comment from the artist at the time of selection)
I've drawn lots of dogs to the present. When I say "dogs", there is a certain motif to it. There are times when I look at a dog from behind and I feel a sensation like I am going inside of it and can see through its eyes. I gain a brand new perception which fully acknowledges that I am simply observing what it sees. I would like to make pictures showing this. Memories of course come from a source, but if you could gain a brand new point of view, the source might not matter much for those memories. I believe that's one of the ways memories exist.
Piece introduction
I partook in an artist residency as I looked through the eyes of a dog and am making an exhibition space devoted to those perceptions.
This piece goes beyond new perceptions to examine the way memories exist.
