Did you know that Saint Clare of Assisi is a patron saint of cats? This fact and the reason why were found in a footnote while studying a book from a convent's library. Upon request, the bozzetto of a dear cat that helped to nurse the artist back to health is being recreated and released in a limited edition; the original was left with the nuns.

ABOUT THE BOZZETTI

You may be familiar with maquette - the French term for a small model of a larger, intended sculptural endeavour. The Italian term bozzetto - which translates to sketch - also describes studies for finalized works. During an artist residency, a contemplative practice resulted in the first of these bozzetti and has continued to be a part of the artist’s studio life.
