Rebecca Totman hasn't added a story.
A
desire to bring joy to the infinite masses is the driving factor
behind the creation of Joycat 2019. Artist Rebecca Totman feels there
is something about cats (especially cats on the internet) that can
bring temporary relief to the stresses of life.
Architectural Rendering by Jesus Guerrero
This playful and interactive kitten stands 21
feet tall and represents the untamed creature of joy within us all.
Her skin is made up of carefully cut mosaic pieces. At night the light
pours through the spaces on the mosaic, illuminating her from the
inside out. Arcade buttons on the yarn ball cause the kitten to make
various cat sounds and the lighting of the yarn ball and cat eyes to
change.

JoyCat 2019 also represents lasting joy through the practice of
detachment. With celebration and fanfare this kitty will burn to the
ground, freeing us from the notion that joy comes from anything but within.

Artist
Rebecca Totman is self financing this project because she feels it
must be made. She's seeking funds to help cover the cost of wood,
hardware, and transportation.
JoyCat has an amazing team of people bringing her to life
including Architect Jesus Guerrero, Sculptor Adriane Dos Santos, Web
Master Dustin Rolestad, Mentor Scott Froschauer, Mentor Jen Moore,
Fabricator Steve @ Triumph CNC, everyone at the Art Car Garage helping
lighting and power (and way more), Mike Pettengill with moral and
physical support, Frank with the day to day, and Carlton camp lead and
level head.
The
community is growing and there's room for more as we get farther
into the build process. Please see www.joycat2019.com for
other ways to contribute to this project including helping with the
build, and submitting art for the upcoming July art show fundraiser.
Thank you for sharing this project and telling your friends
about it.
