Kora the black lab was born in Wales in August 2024 and recently featured in the Firehawks exhibition at Open Eye Gallery in Liverpool. The photograph of her playing with her new toy was taken in bed at 22.27 on Monday 8 December 2025 by Alan Dunn, human, born in Glasgow in 1967. Alan Dunn studied at Glasgow School of Art and Art Institute of Chicago and has developed long-term large projects such as RAY + JULIE, tenantspin, The Jingle Book (tongue twisters in dementia care homes) and ZERO PLAN, an endless project based on acquiring multiple copies of the 1983 LP No Parlez.
Image Description:
The artwork photographed against a window in the White Column space, of a postcard-sized photograph of the head and shoulders of Kora the black labrador dog laying on her back on a dark green and red Christmassy-looking duvet in bed. Captured in side-on profile, with her open mouth she tries to bite a light grey fluffy animal toy that has a tiny tag on it reading “kora lab”. She looks relaxed and playful, paws in the air, her black fur shining from the flash of the camera and body nuzzled into the thick duvet, probably late evening playtime in bed with her owner, the artist Alan Dunn. The postcard is shown both front and back, and other copies given away during opening.
