Emilie Louise Gossiaux often explores the interdependence of humans and animals in their work and regards their late guide dog, London, as an equal collaborator. When London’s health started deteriorating in 2024, Gossiaux began working on the one-hundred hand-built ceramic sculptures that make up Kong Play. By producing multiples of their dog’s favorite chew toy, they imagined a pleasure-filled afterlife for London, who died in September 2025.
