The object I have chosen to work with is a squirrel, which is a very common mammal native to a large portion of North America as well as small sections of Europe and Africa.

I have chosen to work with a porcelain kitten. The porcelain serves little purpose other than looking pleasing to the eye. The kitten itself denotes the human desire to take care of pets and fill a space with something that could be perceived as alive. The prone pose of the cat reminds me of the… Continue reading Project 1: “Accumulations” – Gibbs
