Wild Satellite
The Wild Satellite series started with an art show calling for paintings of chairs, a theme which perplexed me for a while. As I ruminated, I thought about an Our Lady Peace song I used to love which sang:
"She builds her own satellite, from an old rusted chair. She leaves this whole world behind."
The song always struck me as sad, and it conjured up an image of what a homemade satellite would look like if built from discarded junk: The rusty iron chair, a broken umbrella antenna, and window shutters wired with tiny solar panels from many grade school calculators.
The theme of Wild Satellite became a story about a cat who takes off on a satellite in search of a place to belong in the world. It isn't until he boldly explores, and then lowers his guard to be vulnerable and open to the world that all of these magical animals begin to welcome him.
Shown prices are in Canadian dollars. Shipping costs extra, and I typically send them unframed.
