A 2026 Black Rock City Honoraria recipient, the mythical Purrmaid (half cat / half mermaid) embodies the mysteries of the ocean.

Stretch is a 20 foot tall, fully extended, metal, kitty sculpture. She can stand alone or be part of other installations, let's say, for example, a giant lighthouse, to add some monumental whimsy.

P.U.R.R.R. is a playful clowder of freestanding, dual panel, giant cat silhouettes. Nested in between each pair of big cat panels is a set of steps leading up to a “mewing” platform, from which purrticipants can survey the playa and spy on the other cats.

Poise demonstrates the chaotic beauty of cats in motion using aforementioned felines purrforming a balancing act on a tower of animated balls.

Trust was a success at Burning Man 2023!

It has been crazy busy for weeks now so it's been hard to do updates. The good mews is that Trust left on the flatbed on Sunday...

Our fundraiser was a success! And we got the fourth cat of Trust tack-welded together and started welding the fifth cat on the form.

Third and Fourth are coming along thanks to all the volunteers! And thank mew to our catributors.

First cat of Trust rolls out to make room in the shop to work on the second. AND we rolled the third cat to start welding on her.
