This figurative piece plays on the well-known poem “The Owl and the Pussy- Cat” by Edward Lear (see full poem here). Two distinctly engaging characters lounge in a ceramic boat amidst a fanciful setting… evoking feelings of love, marriage, and joy — “in a world that has no sorrow, suffering, or obstacles.”
