This piece is called the 'Popple' and it is named after a childrens toy
from the 80's: a teddybear which, if you turned it inside out,
transformed into a ball.
My piece 'The Popple' was made of a (taxidermied) dog that, when you
turned it inside out, transformed into a (taxidermied) cat. So The
Popple ables you to choose your favorite kind of pet over and over again.

The Popple is part of my Baby bunny project in which I created toys made
out of real animal(skin)s. What I wanted to illustrate was the huge pet
industry in which people are breeding pets more and more 'perfect'.
And with 'perfect', I mean perfect for breeders and owners, as an eye
catcher. But for the pets it's absolutely the opposite. They are used as
objects. As toys.
Which brought me to make these series.
