This document is a paper written by Jacqueline McNally for her Aesthetic Crossovers of Art and Science class at The University of Western Australia, dated October 30, 2008. The paper discusses a painting titled "Cat, Time and Curiosity" by Marcio Melo from 2004, which depicts a figure with many ears and frogs on her robe representing inquisitiveness, and wings and lifted arms symbolizing her trying to move to hear and see news. The paper also notes that the artist often includes cats in his paintings, whether as a focal point or in the background, as they frequently feature in real life.
