Madam Saluki

Her tan coat matches the tan vintage sofa. With fingerpainting the artist carved the black paint into deep grooves, the original catches light in different ways all day.  In 2016, when the congestion and lack of nature in New York City started overwhelming the artist, she took her first trip to New Mexico. “I wanted to determine if the desert might be my next home after New York. I found a fun little vintage trailer on Airbnb to stay in for a few days while I explored Northern New Mexico, near Taos. This Airbnb had many dogs. First to greet me, sauntering out of the trailer, towering, like a weightless horse, was an unearthly Saluki. She stared at me, unwavering, with an all-knowing air. Her eyes said, *‘I’m just in a dog body right now, but don’t be fooled—I understand everything, and I’m just undercover.’”
