Plastic and Concrete
Jeremiah Hulsebos-Spofford’s network of Cat Monuments attests to the incredible dominance of cats on the internet. Combining humor with contemporary technological themes, Hulsebos-Spofford’s work displays a connected arrangement of identical black plastic cats perched upon concrete pedestals, alluding to the lineage of heroic monuments and the dominance of cat imagery in contemporary society. The varying heights and radiating shape of the monuments visually relates to the aesthetic history of the Grosse Pointe Lighthouse.
