CAT YONG



instagram @cathkittycat



"This print is about isolation and retreat from the outside world, about dealing with feelings of anxiety, agoraphobia and overwhelm associated with the onslaught of the virus, the accompanying news overload and social media storm. It considers the loss of the fundamental ability to be social and to effortlessly reach out and touch your fellow human. It is the ultimate paranoid existential crisis: house on a cliff edge, milky Covid moon spilling down steep enclosing wooded hills, wild waters nipping at your foundations."



"This print represents cohabitation during lock down. Unkempt, uncut, locks of feral Medusoid hair intertwining and enclosing us within a claustrophobic bubble, representing the lack of personal space during the Covid plague. Enforced close quarters, together month in month out, day in day out, hour by hour. Mother and daughter, while on one hand loving having so much time together growing and bonding, are almost haplessly merging into one: a single central eyebrow, joined by a central facial seam brow to jawline, becoming fused, chimaeric."
