Pits & Perception at Syracuse University

We view the world through the filter of our own perceptions, beliefs and ideas. But perceptions, beliefs and ideas can be influenced and changed. In this series of paintings of Pit Bulls I’m challenging the current-day perception of these dogs. Not by changing their image, but by depicting them close-up, larger than life, and inviting the viewer to question how they see and perceive Pit Bulls.Pits and Perception was made possible by a grant from the Culture & Animals Foundation.
