There is a spirituality to cats, especially Flo, that I’m hoping to capture in my photography. There can be a calmness to them, an acceptance, a meditative state that I find is a kind of meditation all of its own. During all of these storms, I come into the farmhouse and I see Flo watching the storm, not so much looking at it as reflecting on it. There is a sense of acceptance I find touching and calming. I don’t think Flo knows her name, but she knows when I am speaking to here. It is fascinating to me to see the fine line between domesticity and the wild that lives in a cat.
