Cherry creates whimsical needle-felted characters, many of which are inspired by her home in the beautiful Scottish Highlands.
For this exhibition, Cherry draws inspiration from the cat art of Victorian artist Louis Wain and the popular 19th-century hobby of making toy theatres or juvenile drama sets.
The theatre is comprised mainly of painted sealed wood and includes battery-operated sensor lighting, traditionally styled curtains, star décor and ornately turned wooden feet.
The backdrop features a mixed-media collage image of Edinburgh Castle.
Each cat figure is wrapped in a cosy scarf, posed as though singing in a choir, standing atop a wooden disc while holding a paper hymn sheet.
Each cat figure is freestanding and can be completely removed from the theatre.

Please be aware that this item contains painted and sealed wood elements.
It is recommended to review your country’s import regulations on wooden goods before completing your purchase.
