In the 1990s I worked on quilt pieces that showed bears in caverns or in rooms formerly occupied by humans and covered with cave drawings of early animals. The bears wander through these environments, teachings their cubs about history. In this new series, Felis..., the ancient history is imprinted on the cougars; the cougars are freed of caves and rooms, and they move freely on the wall.
