ABC Dogs

Anna walsh

The thought process of deciding which dogs to paint for an exhibition, leads to a classification system, in this case the alphabet. 

Through classification humans attempt to make order from nature: 
Animal - Mammal - Carnivora - Canidae (Dog Like Mammals) - Canini (related to wolves). 
Dogs: Terriers, Hounds, Working, Toy, Sporting, Utility, Pastoral. 
 
Terriers: Jack Russell, Yorkshire Terrier, Staffordshire Bull Terrier, West Highland 
… the list goes on! 

A common application of alliteration is in books intended for children learning about letters, or for characters in a story book. In Walsh's exhibition it is applied to the titles of her paintings (dog breed and background colour), adding a sense of poetry to the exhibition.
