New London The nonprofit organization responsible for the installation of three dozen sculptures throughout the city is offering a $500 reward for a missing cat.
The cat is actually a disc-shaped cast cement sculpture titled “Catastrophe” that was created by Boston sculptor Billy Evans and recently reported stolen from its home outside Title IX, a pop-up bookstore at 345 State St., next to the Garde Arts Center.
The sculpture sat atop a wooden pyramid-shaped stand and depicts a series of cats, one peeking out from the center of the disc and surrounded by other cats. The stand was not taken.
The piece is one in a series of contemporary sculptures installed in 2017 that now adorn green spaces throughout the city, from the Lyman Allyn Art Museum to downtown New London. Collectively the exhibits are known as the New London Sculpture Mile, an initiative created by the nonprofit Hollycroft Foundation with the idea of making high quality art more accessible to the public.
I have been a staff photographer on The Day s visual team since 2017. After graduating with a degree in photojournalism in 2010 I have worked across the country, from Ohio to Washington, at strong community newspapers before returning to my New England roots. You can frequently find me looking for slice-of-life feature photos across our community, working on a different angle at events, with a camera in both hands at sporting events, always capturing the storytelling moments to share with our readers.
