I am a
serious artist who happens to be a cat. My work explores feline identity in a world full
of humans. I am also very fluffy... and
fucking adorable.

Favorite piece/project you’ve done:
My most successful piece to date was a performance in which I clambered inside a suitcase and took a nap. This project attempts to come to terms with the transitory nature of self within the early twenty-first century’s database-oriented paradigm. As our search for work has become more and more freelance in nature, so has our search for identity. We constantly and restlessly move across the network, transforming each possession, location, and experience into a personality-shaping commodity, free to be emphasized, embellished, or discarded as the situation dictates. In this piece, the suitcase becomes a “vessel” in all senses of the word. It literally contains my physical body, serving simultaneously as a cocoon, exoskeleton, and transportation device. It also acts as a metaphor for an identity in transition, infinitely malleable, with no fixed reference points, adrift on a sea of cut-and-paste narrative, traveling endlessly from one non-place to the next. Plus it’s like totally comfortable and I look all fluffy and adorable in it.
