PUPPIES PUPPIES

Each of the works depicts a documentation of earlier costumed performances by Puppies Puppies (Jade Kuriki Olivo) in which her identity remained veiled. Only when Puppies Puppies started hormone replacement therapy as a means to begin gender transition did both the artist’s body and her real name appear in her work. Douglas’s painterly depictions of these performances behind the grid of a window, provides a proverbial glimpse into Puppies Puppies’ artistic past.
