Artist's Statement:
“My Puggle, Lugnut, and I spent a lot of time together during the pandemic; much more than previously. We developed a co-dependence and a kind of merging of our selves. Looking down at him it became clear that our home had become our universe. “

This work was cited for special commendation by the judge, art historian David Cohen, publisher and editor of Artcritical, who wrote,
" Love the tensions in perspective, catching the viewer between species, energizing negative space with animal presence.”
