About the artwork…
My artwork depicts a cat made from recycled food cans and metal. Like all beings, deep within itself, it is sustained by a mechanism - a clock - giving it life. Each tick of the clock hand symbolizes a heartbeat. Each heartbeat a breath. And though life’s clock skips ahead sometimes, or perhaps, even falls behind, it still is alive. Even in each simple creature, breath is there - the essence of life is present.
About the artist…
Grieta is a grade nine student at North West Christian School, located in Penguin. She enjoys art, especially painting and sketching. Recently, the grade nines, along with the grade tens, were looking at how to create sculptures from metal food cans. The class looked at several examples of sculptures created by other artists who had taken part in Ross Tin Can Exhibitions in the past, in order to gain inspiration before embarking to work on their own projects.
