about
This piece looks at our relationship with cats through their depiction in art. Whether venerated as a god, used for vermin control or (unfortunately for thousands of cats) persecuted as a witch’s familiar, cats have been a part of our lives for millennia. The text on this piece is a selection of love spells taken from the “Book of Magical Charms” (attributed to Robert Ashley, before 1641). There is no guarantee they’ll work.
