On The Prowl
Bronze I 44 x 9 x 20 cm
On the Prowl began as something entirely different — a tall industrial form inspired by the aerials that rise above Italian towns. But the wax kept bending in the heat, and a friend’s cat repeatedly wandered across the work table. At some point, the structure shifted, and the cat simply appeared.

On The Prowl
Each painting carries its own journey - here’s a glimpse of how this piece unfolded.
The sculpture was first shaped in wax during a hot spell in Italy, where the heat made it impossible to hold form for long. The intended tower shape began to buckle, and when my friend’s cat walked through the studio, its movements seemed to echo the changing structure. The piece evolved from there almost on its own.
It was later cast in Pietrasanta, a small Italian town renowned for its bronze foundries and marble workshops. The process captured every mark and imperfection, preserving the spontaneity of that moment when an industrial idea turned unexpectedly into a living creature.
