Collie (Silver 44)
A silver gelatin photograph of a Collie dog is transformed through the delicate application of foil, creating a shimmering, reflective surface that disrupts and heightens the image simultaneously. Lassry's signature framing device—here rendered to complement the work's metallic palette—draws attention to the photograph as a physical object rather than a transparent window onto its subject. The work sits within the artist's ongoing investigation of image-making, commodity, and the slippery boundaries between photography and sculpture.
