The Kittolith

It's only natural that cats should have kittens, and plastic cat statues should therefore have their progeny too. The Coven of Catoliths gave birth to a Litter of Kittoliths.

Over the past few years, I've been very busy with installations of Cathenge, my 3D printed, Space Cat Temple that has appeared at Burning Man and been an SF Arts Commission public installation. For many years, Art Basel has snuck up on the calendar and happened without me attending and I’ve felt left out. Finally, in 2023, the stars aligned - I was ready with the newly designed “Kittolith” to go to Art Basel! The Kittolith is a smaller version (6’ tall) of the iconic Catolith (think Monolith of 2001 in the shape of a cat!) Cat Statue of Cathenge. The Kittolith can be disassembled into parts and fit into a couple of suitcases and taken on an airplane. And so I did just that! I packed the Kittolith up and reassembled it in my hotel room in Miami Beach and brought the Kittolith around to Miami ArtWeek (colloquially known as "Art Basel" for it's eponymous lead art fair)!

The smaller, more deluxe version of the Catolith — all the interactive harmonic purring power of Holofelinity in a 6' tall, travel-ready cat statue.
