CMYK9

CMYK9 is the third project in my pandemic trilogy. From the beginning, I’ve felt creatively compelled to archive some meaning from this global social contagion. We have seen some of the best and worst human behaviour and we’re still learning about the long-term physical, environmental and social impacts from COVID-19. In CMYK9, I wanted to explore the increase in pet adoption and the shifting social relationship between humans and their pets at this time. What were these animals experiencing? Was it the best of times? Was it the worst of times? What were other dogs saying on the fire-hydrant community board?
 
*CMYK refers to the four colours used in this printing technique: cyan, magenta, yellow, and key (black or palladium).
 
**K9, of course, refers to our canine friends.
