Series Statement
Cats at rest are stillness. There may be an occasional electric twitch of an ear or tail thump as they absorb ambient energy. Suddenly, something arouses them. There is a shift. Whiskers and fur radiate in all directions. The power grid is on.
You look, the cat that was flattened to the floor has jumped to the moon.
My work investigates the visual processing of these changes. The work keeps evolving in different directions as my thinking on these changes evolves. The Cats keep changing appearance. They are, after all, cats.
