"This post use to talk about how bad a dog's breath smells and how pictures of dogs getting their teeth brushed were funny. If you don't think a dog's breath is going to stink before you stick your nose in its mouth and take a whiff then you need to "think again". The post seemed to need a little reworking and so we asked pie said hi to do just that.

Artist statement:
"The title of this new work is "Dip it in the Bouillon no. 2" 2006.
This piece is now investigating the mythology of red and how it equals blood and sacrifice and can play on the expanse of the flat screen. The application and layering of red, the sacred and the digital, onto the screen capture is the traditional form I find in my recent work. I have scribbled out the words, leaving some exposed, to reach that edge of unrestrained thinking; and how I, as many artists have, find crossing out words interesting. It speaks of truth for me and brings out a completeness. The screen capture and its symbolism can choose to be or exist in web time or in real time, R-E-A-L. The reference to sweaters loving sopapillas can be remotely guarded as poetry having access to rebirth and how objects, now or in the future, will love other objects. It is one in a series of a thousand."
