Housecats
Meet Housecats, who joined the Jenie Gao universe in 2020.
In March 2020, the early part of the pandemic when we still believed this might be a quick two-week quarantine, I painted the Housecats to introduce a bit of delight into my practice.
I wish for all of us to have the self-assuredness of cats. They accept and reject affection and love on their own terms. They sleep when they need to sleep. They play when they need to play. They always take up the space they need and autonomy they deserve. Even if they only weigh on average eight pounds. If you weigh more than 100 pounds, then you weigh more than 12 housecats. Set a goal for yourself to have the self-love of at minimum 12 housecats and chart your road to emotional wellbeing.
