Lot description
Susan O''Doherty - Untilted. In my art practice including painting, assemblage and sculpture I often deal with social and gender issues, personal history and the nature of time and mortality. Within work I have done concentrating on relationships and domestic situations, my paintings complement the assemblages with overlapping themes and subjects. Painted backgrounds denote interior décor with repeating motifs suggesting the patterning of tiles, wallpapers, curtains, carpets and textiles. I''ve extended the idea of the patterned motif onto the Guide Dog as an allusion to the familiar and affectionate relationship the dogs form with their human partners and how important they are, first in the home and then out into the wider world. "This art dog was commissioned by Guide Dogs NSW/ACT to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the charity and Chinese New Year of the Dog 2018. The artist has utilised an official Guide Dogs coin Donation Dog - one of the iconic collection boxes which have stood in Australian supermarkets and stores for over 40 years. Donation Dogs are rarely available for sale and have been decommissioned for use by the artist."
