I created this piece for myself as a reminder of all the various cats I encounter from my lifetime. It also a reminder to myself to work hard so that one day I can take care of my own cat so we can both see how we grow during our journey together.
The vision for the piece was to make a big enough cat head to resemble a actual cat hat itself but I made it bigger to fill most of the white space. The little fluffy yellow balls were aesthetic choices of being the little cat toys they play with.
"From their venues—often forests at night—to their black-clad participants and the retinue of animals that attended Satan—crows, bats, and cats—sabbats were veritable orgies of blackness" P.267. As the textbook talks about cat attending Satan being veritable orgies of blackness I made sure the main cat of the piece was a black cat as some people claim they are evil or bring bad luck I completely think the opposites.
The piece was created for my Grandma as she loves getting flowers and growing them.
As I was thinking of ways to make flowers on the canvas I had the idea to make the piece feel like it coming out the canvas just as in Part 1. I drew a gentle grass scene to resemble where the flowers are being grown. The aesthetic choice was to use cotton balls to resemble pollen.
He found he could only work in the early morning, “because the flowers wilt quickly and it’s a matter of doing the whole thing in
one go.” P. 82
The passage inspire the piece as it reminded me of my Grandma as she would always wake up super early to water all her plants and flowers especially when the sun is fresh out so she doesn't have to do it later in the day when she's tired.
