Red Rabbit 3.19

Suspended aluminum sculpture, AND granite and bronze sculpture.

The rabbit is red to emphasize speed and our inherent desire to get to our “stuff” as quickly as possible. The artist says, “Lose it, misplace it and disaster can erupt. Possess it, and it fills the gap of distance from home. What is it about our baggage that defines the nature of this emotion of connection with our stuff and who we are?” The rabbit was selected because its symbolism works on many levels. The rabbit is a symbol of cleverness, foolishness, of femininity and androgyny, of cowardice and courage.
