Andrew Lundberg's Inspiration
In the sculpture, "The Celestial Feline," I sought to capture the enigmatic allure of the cat, a creature that has long been associated with mystery and magic. The sundial, an ancient tool for measuringtime by the sun, is reimagined here as a conduit for celestial energy, channeled through the cat's gaze. The focal point of the piece is thecat's eyes, rendered in glass tile and timeless bronze. They are not merely windows to the soul, but portals to a higher plane of existence. The third eye,
a symbol of intuition and spiritual awareness, is prominently displayed, suggesting the cat's ability to perceive unseen forces and tap into a deeper understanding of the universe.
Through this work, I invite viewers to contemplate the interconnectedness of all things, the rhythms of nature, and the mysteries that lie beyond our everyday perception. The cat, with its celestial eyes and intuitive wisdom, serves as a guide, reminding u sto trust our instincts, embrace the unknown, and seek a deeper connection to the cosmos.
