This is a smaller than life-size "double portrait" of our two cats, who are a bit rotund. I have always admired statues of cats from ancient Egyptian tombs, so I've "fast-forwarded" the rigidity of the pose from the skinny old version. The sculpture is carved from Tennessee Limestone, which has natural streaks and speckles giving it an organic look--limestone is, after all, sedimented marine organisms. Besides Egyptian sculpture, the other influence is early 20th century Art Deco. I left certain planes, particularly on the head, rather sharp edged to emphasize the geometry. I also toyed with the symmetry typical of both styles (Egyptian and Art Deco) and left in a few asymmetrical quirks. The sculpture was carved entirely by me, mainly using hand tools (after some initial cutting with power tools). I carve outside, even in winter (which is relatively mild here). Please note that the dimensions of the sculpture itself are 11-3/4" (30 cm) tall by 7" (18 cm) deep by 6-1/2" (16.5cm) wide. The dimension for the listing include the base, which is made out of wood. The sculpture is bolted to the base but it could be removed, if desired. Intended for indoor use only. The limestone has two coats of paste wax to protect it.

I am an artist, educator, theorist, and activist living in the Seattle-area. I have been a practicing visual artist for almost 40 years. I consider myself to be an “art generalist” because I like to make things, and I do not consider any particular medium to be superior to another. In addition to teaching and art making, I am a PhD Candidate in Philosophy, Aesthetics, and Art Theory through a low-residency program with the Institute for Doctoral Studies in the Visual Arts. I received a Fulbright Creative Art grant to Norway for the 2011-2012 academic year. My goal there was to investigate the concepts of voyages and migration. The culmination of my project was a sculptural installation at the Viking Ship Museum in Oslo. At the same time, I began my foray into ceramics. I live in the small town of Darrington, Washington, USA, in a mountain valley north-east of Seattle. Originally, I was a painter, then about a fifteen years ago, I made a serious "plunge" into 3D work. Initially, my paintings and sculptures were inspired by the scenic beauty of western North America. Now I am exploring more figurative work, much of it inspired by art history and the history of objects, not just observation.
