Diamond Dog, 2009, mirrored acrylic sheet, mdf, cast polyurethane, epoxy resin, glass eyes, acrylic rhinestones, Sony boom box, enamel paint, sound, 66” x 48” x 48”
Diamond Dog incorporate references to the Sex Pistols, using sound to recontextualize dystopic phrases and address the failures of utopian ideals while exploring reflection as a tool to draw the viewer into the work. The reflection allows the viewer to explore their own position in history and culture and points out the futility of utopian desires.
