RABBIT REVERIE, 2016, pastel, ink, colour pencil, charcoal and oilstick on rag paper, 30.25 x 22.5 inches. The Riverine Rabbit is endangered, feeling trapped, and facing death and extinction. The rabbit sits in a dream world, moving his/her head back and forth, right and left, left and right. The rabbit looks out at the viewer, trying to comprehend. At the rabbit’s side is a bird, who has grown four legs. The bird is evolving. An unusual sea creature at the top right evolves into a hand. At the bottom right, a dark shadowy human figure looks at the evolving bird in wonder.
