NSS Elected Member Adam Matano won the commission to create Los Angeles’ P-22 Memorial. The sculpture will be of the cougar who inhabited southern California’s Griffith Park for 10 years. The mountain lion was tagged and labeled P-22 by National Park Service but was affectionately known as the “Hollywood Cat” by Los Angelenos. Matano’s conceptual designs depict the cougar stepping down from a rectangular base onto the ground. A back relief will depict the park’s wild animals such as gray foxes and coyotes, as well as natural plants. The bronze of P-22 will be placed in a garden or meadow area near the park’s Visitor’s Center at a future date to be announced.
