Is e sreath de dhealbhan-camara le frèam a th' ann an Cait Anns A' Mhàla, a tha a' sealltainn chait a' gabhail fois am broinn màlaichean. Tha gach obair-ealain a' nochdadh sealladh sìmplidh à beatha làitheil le cat. Tha an sreath a' taisbeanadh chait le falt fada, chait le falt goirid agus chait gun fhalt, còmhla ri màlaichean de dh'iomadh cruth. Thathar a' peantadh nan dealbhan gu digiteach agus an uair sin gan clò-bhualadh air truinnsearan acrailig le clò-shìoda. Thathar a' cur grunn truinnsearan clò-bhuailte ann an cruth-frèam sònraichte, le pàipear agus siota gearraidh air an cur air a' chùl, air dòigh 's gu bheil an dealbh a' nochdadh trì-thoiseachail nuair a dh'atharraicheas an t-uillinn seallaidh.

He made it a primitive square.
Research
The first thing we did was to investigate what types of cats there are.
They have different lengths and patterns of hair depending on the type.
It also has its own unique pose and big changes in appearance.
He have examined those differences in combination with the bag and the way it looks attractive.
Inspiration
This project was born from the essential relationship between cats and bags in daily life. It is common to see a cat sleeping in a bag or a plastic bag in daily life with a cat, which is a posterior neck.Cats are said to have always liked small spaces, and it is said that they used to protect themselves from enemies and to rest in small spaces. For cats kept in modern houses, the bag seemed to be used as a single nest for them.Watching them resting in their bags, as if the two had been that way from the beginning. I felt that the relationship was complementary to each other.
Project Duration
The project began in Tokyo in April 2016.
Solo exhibitions have been held in Tokyo and Hiroshima.
Operation Flow
Multiple silkscreened acrylic boards are stacked on top of each other, and paper and cutting sheets are placed at the bottom to create a single painting.
Between the acrylic boards, He put them in a special frame.
