Cat Down
An Exercise in How Love Is Like a Mouse, Immune To Toxoplasmosis, Waiting in the Bullrushes of Darkness for the Deformed Cat To Leave, the Cat Waiting For Something Terrifying and Delicious To Emerge and That Brings Satisfaction and Wholeness for a Moment Before It Is Digested And all That Is Left is The Longing Again.

Installation Description:
The painting is sometimes hung behind an aquarium and sometimes inside a drained aquarium, perched atop a goldfish castle. The booth smells of dried exotic seafood straight from a Chinese market that partly blocks the entrance and hangs randomly inside. These can be picked up or plucked and eaten, except the one that bares the title card inside a sealed glass jar filled with pickle juice.
