Amazonian Rainforest Dog

Medium: Clay
Size: 24” x 20” x 12”

This rather large eared, medium size, skinny, dog, was inspired by a PBC special about Pygmy tribes in the Amazon Jungle and how fragile the ecosystem has become. It has become so fragile that it is literally falling apart from global warming and rainforest reduction. When ever the crew sat down with one small tribe to eat, without fail, halfway through every meal, this one lone happy dog would show up to beg food. He was such a happy little thing that I had to try and capture his Aura. Here he is. Happy and skinny with those small beady, knowledgeable black eyes. He understands the forest because his life force is so intertwined with the forest that as the forest cracks and fails, so does his spirit and body. He is sad because he knows that his time is quickly ending just as the forest.
