Winter is the season when Sethi sleeps a lot. He is gathering strength for Spring and Summer when he will spend more time outside and will have to defend himself again against the other cats in the area.

In Hibernation I applied many layers of transparent oil color to create overlapping and merging forms. There are abstract plant and animal shapes that appear to intersect or float above or below one another. Some are sinking into a shadowy background as though already in deep sleep, while other brighter figures seem still awake at the surface. Although hibernating is associated with an escape from winter cold and food scarcity, I chose to use predominantly warm red colors that represent life temporarily suspended in a state of dormancy.
