- About this work
-
What seems at first to be a quick snapshot masks the intimate nature of Christine Godden’s work. While Godden often focuses on the domestic and the place of women within everyday life, the artist’s documentary-style practice also captures the nuance of individual experience. Obscuring the dog’s head, this work focuses instead on the dog’s position in the room, suggesting the comfort it provides to its owner through its presence alone.
