Cats? In the library!?
Discover a series of fluorescent sculptural cats, here to brighten your day with their tracksuit-wearing escapades.
Bring along the whole family to look for Coconut, Cardboard, Nasty Nestle and the gang hiding in plain sight around Joondalup Library. Can you find them all?
Feline Good is an irreverent sculptural installation by West Australian multi-disciplinary visual artist, Bruno Booth.
An artist whose cross-media practice addresses the challenges and possibilities of negotiating the world from a wheelchair, Bruno’s artwork brings to light relationships between the cultural and physical.
Join the fun
Join Bruno Booth to make a cool little human-sized hat to match the outfits of the Feline Good cat gang! Register now for BB’s Bootleg Cap Crafting.

Extra things to know
Bruno Booth has used a wheelchair for most of his life, interrupted by a short and unsuccessful career as an amateur stilt walker when he used prosthetic legs as a child. In his memory, these leather and metal devices would not have been out of place on the set of some dystopian, apocalyptic epic – not in a cool and attractive Fury Road sort of way, more like the zombies in the original Walking Dead.
Having a disability has been a constant background hum throughout Bruno’s life. Kind of like a social tinnitus – you know it’s there, but you try not to talk about it. It was only when he started to call himself an artist, without cringing too much, that he began to engage critically with what it meant to be categorised as disabled.
Bruno’s recent solo exhibitions include High fantasy, low expectations at Sweet Pea (2024), Dead Ends and Detours Perth Institute of Contemporary Arts, WA (2023), Body Shots Goolugatup/Heathcote, WA (2019), Push it, push it (real good) Firstdraft, NSW (2019). Bruno has also presented major public participatory projects for the Fremantle Biennale (TIGHTNESS x TOUGHNESS, 2021) and Testing Grounds (Hostile Infrastructure, 2019).
In 2022, he was a finalist in the John Stringer Art Prize and a Facilitating Artist for Performing Lines Kolyang Artist Hub. In 2023, Bruno worked alongside Lilly Blue at the Art Gallery of Western Australia on Exquisite Bodies, a new commission for the AGWA’s Gallery 09 space.
The cats of Feline Good will be hiding in different places throughout Joondalup Library. Can you find all 20 of them? You can always ask one of our lovely Librarians to give you a hint.
