Derailed is a life-sized mountain lion sculpture clinging by its teeth from a knot at the end of a rope. I convey the idea of struggle through a twisted body that has activated tense muscles and extended claws. Many societies have utilized feline icons as metaphors to express human qualities and symbolize human relations. Continuing this lineage, several of my works take form as mountain lions. Apart from humans, large cats are the most widespread and successful land-bound predators.
