This is an old sculpture of mine, cast bronze — I took it yesterday before the calendar started moving backwards.
Some years ago, before moving to New Mexico, I won a Maryland Arts Council grant to produce a series of bronzes based on cat skulls — the “Cat Project,” naturally. It’s easy to add things like horns to a wax cat skull, so I did. Those were the days: sweat running into my eyes under the gas mask, poison fumes from my home-made melting furnace…

i still have the Cat Project t-shirt you gave me all those years ago
y’know, i would still be interested in buying one of those sculptures from you (i seem to remember mentioning it years ago but never got around to actually doing anything about it) – it’d be a great decoration for my synth rig (next to the lava lamp and “raven at the window” sculpture on top of one of the speakers… or maybe on the other speaker under the lunar globe…).
Ah, that T-shirt! Good.
I appreciate your love of fine art, but who knows when I’ll be able to produce something like that again? That’s why I’ve made no effort to sell these pieces. Not out of fear or greed, I don’t believe, but because I need the inspiration!
If I’m making more again, however, we’d be in virgin territory, and anything can happen.
i feel like i’m asking to adopt one of your beloved pets, and perhaps in a sense i am. how many of them did you actually make? maybe you could bring yourself to part with one of the smaller pieces? i promise i’d give it a good home!
