Description
My focus is rabbits and hares. I use these woodland creatures to communicate various states of life and emotion. A dear friend unexpectedly passed away. His death left me with disquieting emptiness. The piece explores this. The imagery combines the romantic and macabre as seen with the Pre-Raphaelite Brotherhood. The “Hanged Man” (Major Arcana of Tarot) symbolizes “letting go”. A traditional “dead hare” reflects harsh mortality. Red-eyed white rabbits encircling the pear tree with blossoms represent ethereal spirits of the eternal. Overall, here is a hope for immortality in the midst of existential dread.
