CatToyCat
2008 digital 30cmswide A3+ |

All Art-works for sale are signed by Louise Gains and printed with Archival inks on A3+ photographic Luster paper, 285gsm.
The Art-Work is sent wrapped in tissue paper, rolled in a strong cardboard tube.
Created for and shown in Doing Strange Things to Toys, Kitchen Gallery, Runcorn.
The Toy cat in the image is mine and I have had her - Smoky - from the age of one.
I have photos of her with all her fur - now mostly gone.
I became a soft Toy Designer and wonder if it was because I loved this toy cat so very much - I thought she looked Real - and as we were NOT allowed pets by my parents - she certainly filled the gap.
However - and this is the truth of the matter, I now have seven cats and the one called "Sooky" cat has the same beautiful soft grey colour of my toy cat... BUT she is the one that is sick straight after her food because she eats so quickly, she is the one that gets locked into a room over night, she is the one that jumps onto the table and knocks over a plate of food, she is the one that bounces onto my head at night and wakes me. She is the Bane of my Life!!!

I saw a Swan building her nest on the River Lyd, near the River Severn, UK, I did not have my camera so I made this drawing to record what I saw. |
Sky Horse
2009 Digital print A3 + |
|
“Fresh clean air, bird-song and warmth on my back from the Spring sunshine – they all led me to walk along the Wye Valley one morning. Looking up I saw this amazing cloud in the shape of a horse, a perfect horse in the Sky.
In the woods along the river banks the new leaves were shyly appearing. Threaded carpet-like between the trees was a mass of dark green leaves with surprisingly white stars. Wood Anemone were showing off, shaking their heads is the breeze.
This was a special moment - the sky and the earth were singing the same song.”
