Floating Dog and Flying Cat

Artist Mark Lere designed two suspended sculptures for the animal adoption and gallery rooms, with the goal to help elevate the experience of adoption and supporting the health and well being of animals. Utilizing a resin coated translucent fabric set in aluminum frame construction, the sculptures simulate drawings in three dimensional space. The large scale sculptural depictions of a floating dog and a flying cat are meant to be visual representations of the playful nature of animals and the uplifting experences in partnering with them. These elements seek to suggest positive emotional interactions between pets and humans rather than the traumas of pet separation.
