Tony Savoie: Stay Stray

 Over spring break I went to the long view gallery to see Tony Savoie's "In thoughts and deeds" exhibit. He uses a variety of mixed media to create interesting shadow boxes. This particular piece, "Stay Stray," really stood out to me. The red background is very eye-catching, and the words "stay stray" are very applicable. If you walk closer to it, you can see the different layers that compose the shadow box. The inside of the dog is very mechanical, made of wheels and axles. Some of Tony Savoie's art reminds me of pop art, with the bright colors in the background. I like the contrast of the bright and colorful background with the neutral tones inside the dog.
