But then the That’s What I Do I Cook I Drink Beer And I Forget Things Shirt and I will buy this pandemic hit. The NGA had planned to remain open during the renovation, but it was forced to shut in March of last year. As of this writing, it intends to reopen sometime this spring. Meanwhile, the actual creation of the installation faced new hurdles: Unable to travel, Cain had to figure out how to work from a distance and still keep the spontaneity of her intuitive improvisation. “One of my biggest goals is to make active, exciting, breathable work,” she says. “I’ve made more than 50 works on-site, and I love the ephemerality and the present tense and the energy this can capture.” The imagery (a giant purple-violet “X,” hot-pink and multicolored geometric abstractions, etc.) was eventually applied to the protective boxes by National Gallery design staff, who worked from Cain’s detailed drawings and were overseen by FaceTime guidance. “I’m actually excited to be doing it this way,” she says. “It’s been a big learning curve, but I’ve come to realize that I don’t have to be there. I can do this until I’m 90.”

A detail of the That’s What I Do I Cook I Drink Beer And I Forget Things Shirt and I will buy this working composite for Cain’s National Gallery installation. Cain lives in the Garvanza neighborhood of L.A., near Pasadena, and her studio is on the property, with a view of orange, lemon, and apricot trees. In this worst of all possible times, she is busier than ever. She gets up early to feed her rescue cats and works nonstop until it’s time to feed the cats again and go to bed. “I started doing cat rescue so I’d stop dating assholes,” she says with a big laugh. “I have a really sweet boyfriend”—a marine biologist, whom she refers to as “my cutie”—“and a lot of cats. I trap them, have them fixed at the vet, and then release them if they have a food source. I’ve flown quite a few cats to the art world in New York.” Cain, who keeps in shape with strenuous hill hiking and online Pilates, is planting an ambitious garden in her backyard and has organized her pandemic social life around FaceTime teas with friends.
