Anti-Hawk Dogs

2022 - 2024

A series of works which explores vulnerability through modes of protection. Disruption and manipulation of nature. The futility within progression through regression. Pixelated found imagery translated and filtered through embroidery. Vulnerable dogs equipped with garish, vibrant, and punk anti-predator body armour. The effectiveness of this amour, as a deterrent, is inconclusive based on customer reviews.
