This idea originally came from a triangle i had once painted onto a wall and left over time after realising i had no use for it, when a peer of mine decided in attempt to be comical to write ‘this is dog’ next to the shape. However if anything this attempt at comedy from my peer turned out to inspire me more than anything…
Up to this point I had only been been writing the incorrect colour or form next to the shape but I had never thought about labelling the forms with something completely different to what it actually is. i also think the writing next to the shape is successful as its quite a childlike font of writing which brings a sense of innocence which makes it easier for the viewer to believe that the artist believes that the shape is in fact an actual dog.
