Chinese Cat

blog chinese cat

I saw this cat today in Glasgow’s China warehouse Town. Ostensibly a piggy bank, I can’t help thinking that it would be a waste to use it in such a way. For me it is a totem, an inscrutable, glittery piece of objet d’art, far more affecting than anything I saw at Recoat Gallery last night. It feels like he(?) is impotently trying to communicate something, something about being trapped in a strange ornament maybe.
