Walking Dogs
toilet paper, oil pastels, performance
At the beginning of the Covid pandemic, people were mostly prohibited from or restricted from unnecessary outings in the UK. Our MFA studio crit, also moved online. Faced with such unexpected situation and the uncertain future, everyone felt a bit of anxiety, and the atmosphere was somewhat heavy. This work is just meant to bring some laughter and lightheartedness.
I filled in the colors of puppy-shaped toilet paper (resembling the dogs I had in China, where lockdowns were even stricter). Then I hung the toilet paper on the door handle and pulled it.
