Cat Days
: Porcelain, lights, glass, mixed media, wood display box, 18x36x36

The Seven Days are enclosed in low floor frames like a museum display showing an archaeological dig such as the unearthing of a Pharaoh’s crypt or tomb. Buried white porcelain domestic animals surrounded by mementoes and artefacts are covered in blue bottle ‘sand’ that has been partially brushed aside to reveal the dig. A recorded sound tract tells a disturbing anecdote concerning each animal.
