New animation is a family affair
Rik and Kerry will be screening the permier of their new animation, Dog #7 at R Space Gallery next Friday evening and they are hoping local people will come along to support the local artistic endeavour.
Family pet Tamou is the inspiration behind ‘Dog #7’. Tamou was rescued by the Peel family from Lisburn Dog Pound after the death of their previous beloved pet left what Rik said was a “dog shaped hole” in their lives. Tamou has had such an impact on the family, and particularly their eldest son, who is autistic, that they just had to create a piece of work that would let people know just how valued the new member of the family is.
