The first panel draws you in with the dogs themselves — their spotted forms rendered in Heaton's signature outsider style, loose and confident, full of movement. Look closer at the background and you'll find them: tribal figures, dancing, their silhouettes woven into the chaos of marks and gestures that surround the animals. It's a scene within a scene — the ancient ritual of the hunt, the dance, the wild.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe second panel brings the dogs forward in quiet power — two figures side by side, grounded and still, as if resting between moments.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTogether, the panels tell a complete story.
