Gato

Gato is cat in Spanish. This print celebrates my commitment to interspecies friendships, especially with those creatures we call pets. This cat is one of the characters in a large-scale artwork that I completed in 2021 at the San Francisco Animal Care and Control Center, my largest public art project to date. I worked on the project for three years and over that time I was able to get to know this shelter and the creatures it cares for.

The cat was the largest creature in my art installation. I can't have a cat because I am allergic to them. But nevertheless, my imaginary cat friend is from outer space and represents different elements of the galaxy. The cat has a protective energy. I had a lot of fun playing with the colors for this cat and incorporating various textures and shapes from the public art piece.
