Helena Grimes Stage Fright “My piece is based on
this illustration from Cats as Cats Can by Tomi Ungerer. I enjoyed the wicked character of the cat contrasted with the calm demure of the mouse. The double meaning of the illustration - the image of the mouse becoming the meal paralleled with the depiction of a cat singing with a mic/mouse - sits very soundly as one. Often in my own work my illustrations have multiple meanings and symbols hidden within. I want to develop this image further interpreted with my own style, symbolism and playful additions.” helenagrimes.com @helenagrimesart 29
