The cat here is wearing a crown and is looking rather formidable. One paw is holding the tail of a mouse. Do these represent Elizabeth and MaryWe know that the beautiful Mary had a tragic life, surrounded by conspiracy, plots and murder.
Do you know, a group of cats is called a clowder? And our clowder have been explored in a variety of media by these artists and makers - from sumptuous glossy oil paint, to cool bronze sculpture, to layers upon layer of linen, to delicate silk thread embroidery. All these cats have wonderful tactile qualities.
