Digital composite, 2005.
From the Dogma series.

The complete series can be found here.

This was the first of the Dogma series which initially grew as a response to the writings of Richard Dawkins and Christopher Hitchens.

With tongue planted firmly in cheek, it draws upon the symbolism of Renaissance and Baroque religious art sprinkled with a little Pierre et Giles.

    This one is very cute and the elements and colours seem to mesh well.

    Anne Geddes would be proud ;)

    Just kidding, i really like this, i have an affinity for things like this. Yours is a great original concept.
    Cheers.

    Thanks icpool – it would be nice to be as commercially successful as Anne Geddes but, for the forseeable future, I’ll have to be content with enjoying what I do …. and that’s not a bad place to be. Thanks again, I’m glad you like it. :-)

    Thanks Barbie! This little one is just too cute for words – the best pooch I’ve ever known and she certainly deserves to be immortalised!

    Hi Mikoto – many thanks for your comment!

    Many thanks, sunset! The dove indicates that she is a deity (religious symbolism) which I’m glad you picked-up on.

    If you’re interested, you can find more details on me in my Profile or through a Google search.

    Yes, I saw the Powerhouse exhibition – a few pieces that I’ve donated to their Design Collection are on display there at present (not my own work).
