'Karen MacGregor', Wool, thread and nails, Feb 2014.
Photo: Karen MacGregor. In this image i have pictured some of my hand made crochet cubes. These are to symbolise a few things about beagles in labatorys. The cube itself is to represent the cages they live in their whole lifes in, in solitary confinement. The colours of the cubes and the floppy, imperfect nature of the stuctures represent the beagles individual personalities that are removed and left outside the labatorys. Their identity is taken away from them the moment they arrive and from then on they are just known as a number. The number in question is tattooed on the inside of their ear.
