Childless Cat Lady

This saturn bowl is called "Childless Cat Lady". It was turned by my husband, Mark Hall out of spalted maple (10" x 3"). Carved, burned, gilded & painted. The constelation in the sky is Scorpio, which references the timing of the election.

I love those expressive eyes. We’re childless cat man and cat woman. You don’t have to buy cars for cats. And don’t have to pay college tuition for cats.

Good for you! This is actually a response to JD Vance's comments that the country was being run by childless cat women with miserable lives, who are ruining the country. °phew°. That's a lot of hate.

I was hustling to get this done while the relevance was strong. I'm cool? Wow, that's not something that I hear often (posture improving).

A saturn bowl is a bowl with a very wide rim, which is perfect for narrative painting. I like them to have round bottoms so you can spin them around, and your point of view on the narrative can change.

I feel very lucky that technology has kept up with me (and you!). So happy to still be on the journey.

Yes, I do sell my work. I also do commissions. Often pieces with personal symbols blended together.

This piece has captivated me. I find in it an incredible amount of symbolism that speaks powerfully to the times in which we find ourselves. I keep returning to it and continue to see new concepts that are boldly proclaimed (just the fact that the girl is sitting in a hole is enough to let viewers know exactly what you are communicating). Add the barbed wire flag, choice of pigmentation, bars on the ends... I could go on... What you have accomplished and expressed in an artistic woodturning is nothing short of brilliant. If only more of our fellow human beings could allow it to move them toward the decency (and righteous indignation) that I think you may be trying to evoke.
