Artist's Statement: This body of work is a series of "animal accessories". I have chosen animals that have been bred for a specific purpose, and the accessories can either facilitate or negate the purpose for which the animal is bred. Each accessory may address a perceived problem, but not necessarily the deeper issue; it is a human's interpretation of what an animal might need or want.
