‘A significant question I seek to address is how do we conceive of animals as their own beings if we are unable to see them except in relationship to ourselves? What is it like to be a dog? We might imagine, we will never know. It does not mean we should not try. It is at eye level I aspire to be. In an endeavour to be at eye level is the possibility to engage in a shared or reciprocal exchange with the other. One may refer to that as a relationship, a perceived closeness, or perhaps an unknowable, visible, invisible. I seek to question the space between us.’ – Deborah Williams, 2024
