Untitled, Poodle Paw 2019
Kate Ellis (VIC)
Artist Statement
The fur of the coiffed poodle has a softness, an immaterial quality, ambiguous boundaries; yet the weightlessness is also suffocating and there is a sense of a heavier gravitational field. Under their coats poodles are dogs, descendants of the wolf. They are wild creatures, manicured for an interior dependent existence.
