Thinking About Dogs depicts a guy in a couple of empty, lonely situations, except for the fact that he is always confronting a dog. At one point, the confrontation leads to a disruption in the guy’s mind. Then, everything is calm for the guy. But, I guess there’s another guy, and he also has some relationship to Dogs capital D, and you get to thinking that maybe the thinking about dogs is pretty common. This project is not about people and dogs relating to one another. In this piece, Dogs is a place that exists in one’s mind; somewhere to go when feeling like there’s nowhere else—a happy place. It is about alienation, feeling detached from the outside environment and retreating into one’s own head.
