For a while there, everyone asked me to make them a cat. Fat cat, skinny cat, yellow cat, blue cat, cat eating rat, cat eating fish. Cats here. Cats there, cats and kittens everywhere. You might think I'd get sick of cats. But it turned out they became an ideal space for me to explore surface, expression, subtlety in ways that I would not have accessed otherwise. I may start a new one tomorrow.

Each cat shown is about 27" high, handbuilt of stoneware.
