Hairballs, 2000 – ongoing collectionIkea – Ingebo nests, 2002Winterized, 2002Double nests with insulator strips, 2002

At the turn of the millennium this question was being asked, “What would you put in a time capsule?” The only thing I could think of was “anxiety”. So, like a cat, every time I have an upset stomach caused by a meeting or a deadline, I wrap-up a hairball as a reminder to quiet myself and calm my stomach. I have a growing hairball collection.
