Callie’s Cat Door

What can I say for an artist statement? We already know how much the internet loves all things cats, and I needed a project. My friend Andrew had just adopted another feline friend, and set up a Facebook page for her, Callie the Tripod Cat, because she had to get a leg amputated. Andrew and his wife Leigh are giving her a good home. He had posted some pictures of the cat doors he made, and Callie’s followers wanted to know how they could do it too. I filmed him building one, and bookended it with footage of Callie and her friends. I found some appropriate music for a cat video, and had Callie narrate it so to speak. Is it art? Maybe not, but I could see doing this kind of thing for other Facebook clients.
