Helen Thompson, “Dogs”, Wire, Natural Linen, Vintage Textiles

Surprisingly expressive dogs are completely handcrafted and made using wire, natural linen, and vintage textiles by UK-based artist Helen Thompson. The imperfections of the materials and their raw edges make the sculptures look vivacious and animated. Each stylized mutt, from stitched muzzle to threadbare tail, is one of a kind.

The sculptures are quite different in size, starting at 20cm in a sitting position, and the highest standing at 60cm.
