Abstract
Abstract:Self-Portrait: Waking Up with/to Cat Companions is a triptych composed of prismatic acrylic paint on three adjacent hexagon-shaped canvases (from left to right, 8 inches, 12 inches, and 10 inches in diameter). The central hexagon features my face, from the nose to the head, with an enlarged cat’s eye on my forehead and surrounded by blooming vines. Adjacent at each side are portraits of my cats in poses that interact with my petting, amputee hands. I blend my personal history with cats, legends about cats as fortune-tellers, and mythology about women and cats as magical soothsayers to analyze this work’s personal and folkloric significance.
