This piece, made by Mark Jenkins is one the pieces where he makes figures using Sellotape. The use of Sellotape could show that figures are here to stay and part of everyday life. The colour gives the figures a ghostly and luminous quality that draws the eye and suggests that this is what the figure did in life and has become the norm for them, so they haunt it after they died. Mark Jenkins, like Banksy places his art on the street to make a point about society. In this picture, the ghostly dogs could be haunting this mess as Mark is criticising the fact that that this dump will be there forever and no one will clean it up, so it becomes a hunting ground for scavengers. The light from the dogs are the only thing that give the grim background light, so they could be considered a positive sight in the middle of and eye-sore. I enjoy Mark's work as it has a interesting colour and 3D element, which I have been studying for my final outcome. This piece could be for people to think about the environment and to treat areas where people live better.
