About the artwork
We all remember what lockdown felt like. Image after just moving to a new country and having to be in lockdown for 4 months. The only company provided are eccentric cats brought over from America. Well, lets just say madness wasn't too far off. This piece is a reimagining of my cats as British aristocracy. The octopus is the all-encompassing, suffocating feeling of the panic, depression and misery around all of us at that time.British Cats and Coronavirus
