Art Description:
Underwater Psychedelic Disco Cat Box combines Golden Guy Gallery themes “curiosity” and “astral travel” with an unexpected and surreal 3D blacklight cat-themed shadow box. Everything in the box from the cats doing cat and non-cat stuff with and on cat and non-cat things to the trippy walls, ceiling and floor of the cube will glow with UV/Blacklight-reactive paint. It’s colorful and swirly in the daylight too! Toy Cats, Air-Dry Clay, Papier-mâché, Cardboard, Wire, UV-Reactive Acrylic Paint, LED Blacklights
Artist Bio:
Paige Tashner, native Oregonian, East Bay California transplant, and award-winning self-taught artist, has been sharing her quirkiness through her sculptures for nearly a decade.

Her first one, Spring Kitten, sold at the Sotheby’s auction, Boundless Space…The Possibilities of Burning Man in the fall of 2021. Exhibitions for UV-reactive versions of these sculptures include Oakland’s Autumn Lights Festival and the Portland Winter Light Festival.
