Jellicle cats come out to play
Jellicle cats come one, come all
The neon fringe is waving round
Come climb if you are short or tall
Jellicle cats love shiny things
Jellicle cats think rope enthralls
The glitter shines in sun all day
Play and jump and crouch and crawl
Jellicle cats hide in nooks
Jellicle cats love to lounge
They scratch and claw and flicks their tails
Take this home and joy abounds
About the Artist:
My work is an investigation of the memory and importance of domestic objects and spaces. Utilizing traditional media such as paint, textiles, thread, and printmaking, I challenge myself to create representations stemming from my memory. By creating silhouettes of objects and simplified structures of empty spaces, I aim to convey both absence and belonging. I search for ways to memorialize and find comfort in the objects of daily rituals and the spaces in which they take place. While drawing from places and times specific to me, I hope the viewer can enter into a reflective journey of their own space and memory.
