Kiki Smith — Cat
Kiki Smith

Cat

1996

Kiki Smith's *Cat* is a delicate yet striking work rendered in ink on rice paper, a combination that lends the piece an ethereal, fragile quality. The absorbent nature of the rice paper allows the ink to bleed and flow organically, capturing the fluid grace and mysterious essence of the feline form. True to Smith's broader practice, the work reflects her deep engagement with the animal world and the intimate, spiritual connections between humans and creatures.
