Hounds of Geevor, cannus stannus geevoritii

A pack of underground dogs. Each hound made from three and a half pairs of wellington boots. The boots were thrown away when the local tin mine closed down ending a four thousand year history of tin mining in West Penwith. There are other dogs made from different boots eg car boot dogs, well-heeled bitches etc. They are photographed here in the ruins of the tin mines on the cliffs of West Cornwall.
