The great cat grooms to smooth his appearance, to order his body, with the ultimate intention of becoming the sleeker hunter. In this piece I am constantly frustrating that effort, and the more insistently he works to tame the image, the greater his form is fractured. It becomes a sideshow for us, something outside the boundaries of well-computed thought, a glimpse into the chaos beneath the composed exterior.
