Bud sport, in botany, refers to a genetic mutation within a species. This project plays on that idea through the use of collaged images of flowers on top of dogs, often over their sensory organs. The history of chromosomal control in both the floral and canine worlds favored sports with desirable characteristics partly in the service of human joy and pleasure.

This activity is made possible, in part, by funds provided by the Metropolitan Regional Arts Council (MRAC) through a grant from The McKnight Foundation.
