'cat.' is my mother's favorite animal, and the second work in the @_favanimals collection.
'cat.' is headstrong, sensitive, can be icy cold but has a nose for warmth. She always finds it.
'cat.' is agile, light on her feet, and has the fastest reaction time of all animals on land.
'cat.' hears everything with her big ears.
This work came to life in my attic room on the Stadhouderskade in Amsterdam in the year 2015.
The works in the series are created on an Apple iPad2 and I use the application paper53. I only use my fingers. Each work starts with a free sketch. I draw thick black lines over the parts of the sketch that I am satisfied with. I emphasize these with more black, so that a solid contour is created. Then I clean up the work and stylize the design.
The patterns arise spontaneously and I allow myself to make 'mistakes' in this, trying to surprise myself. With 'cat.' I know that she is particularly sensitive at the attachment of the tail, and the 'nerve endings' make this visible.
My mother likes to wear jewelry. 'cat.' therefore has a simple but elegant collar.
