Drool

Ivan Pavlov is remembered for his work with dogs, which led to the formulation of his theory on respondent conditioning. When a dog is habitually fed shortly after ringing a bell, it will salivate in response to the bell regardless of whether there is food. For Drool, a poster image of Ivan Pavlov has been screenprinted in a special ink comprising twenty herbs and spices derived from the G20 countries. Twenty posters are pasted on the gallery wall each representing one of the standard currencies of the G20. Below a triangular stack of tin cans is suggestive of capitalistic commerce and hints at Abram Maslow's hierarchy of needs.
