"This sculpture is one of a group of 7 sculptures
called Days of Judgement. His friends in the
group evoke, through posture and dress, the
atmosphere of workers experiencing the kind of
existential crisis provoked during market crashes
in any sector of the economy. The feeling is
of high anxiety and internal conflict. This self
dramatising Cat might ply his trade as a self
conscious beatnik poet, a curator of art or perhaps
even an artist? Whatever their trades may be these
Cats attempt to evoke the kind of inner struggle
experienced by individuals in critical situations
—the CEO of Lehman Brothers, Nicholas Serota
justifying the extension of the Tate, JFK struggling
over Cuban missiles or possibly, in this instance,
the artist asking if he can carry on in the face
of the world."
