It was cool enough this evening for the cat and I to talk a walk outside. Ms. Mary Jane is leash trained and does well walking around the yard secured in her kitty cat harness.

This multi-media piece was painted on tissue paper which was then mounted on a canvas sheet. The illustration shows a kitty and her little bird friend saying goodbye as the sun sets on their day.
True story – but the names have been changed to protect the unique.
An older lady lived down the hall from me for years. As a matter of fact she lived in the apartment building the day it opened to the public. Her apartment number matched her date of birth. I figured being a senior citizen she didn’t have much company so I took it upon myself to go visit and check in on her. To my surprise she was quite irritated by me popping in from time to time. It turns out “Mrs. Jones” was raised in a huge family and her children constantly dropped in on her. One day when I came by she opened the door with “Bebop” in her arms and told me not to come back. She said she wanted to enjoy her old age in peace. She slammed the door in my face. I suppose when you have a host of children waiting on you hand in foot, calling you all hours of the day to interrupt your soap operas the last thing you need is some do-good neighbor knocking on your door.
On one my many visits when she put up with me I was able to see all her treasures collected over the years. I witnessed the decay of furniture older than me, of mismatched wall paper that covered parts of the wall surely never painted since she moved in. I saw shag green carpet and of course Bebop. He was always well taken care of. Bebop was brushed and friendly but surely as old as his mistress. He ate from a fake crystal dish under her wobbly kitchen table covered in an antique pea green cloth. He slept on her bed and at her swollen feet. They were a pair not to be disturbed. Together they grew older down the hall until the day when it was time for Mrs. Jones to go home.
Mrs. Jones, though I was a source of irritation to you and constantly interrupted your late year peace I did enjoy rummaging through your apartment and listening to stories of the old days. Thank you for your time. I have a secret to tell you though, I visited more for me than you. I knew you had a lot to offer but I should have met you in your younger years when you had more time for the constant questions of a neighbor with a hidden agenda….. Seek wisdom from a unique individual before the wisdom is lost.

I started pasting bits and pieces of old paintings together, textures and colours that otherwise wouldn’t go together. It was an experiment that I can’t say I’m disappointed in. The whole idea behind Shape Shifter is that the feline woman alters her appearance not with high fashion clothes and jewels but with any and everything made available to her. The Shape Shifter forms an outward identity with torn scraps, metal, bronze and gold. She covers herself in paper, wood, sticks, leaves and every discarded material. The Shape Shifter puts them together and presents herself to you finding no shame in it such coverings. After all, these are just pretty things to look at, things that rust and fly away when the wind blows just right. Outwardly she changes but her real identity remains rock solid. Without unshakable inner strength she has no purpose, ambition or vision. The outside changes, the inner self does not- Shape Shifter.
