Here are some of them in the garden!
As the theme of the exhibition is environmental sustainability, I am entitling them Plague Proportions with the following statement
My installation,
Plague Proportions, has upwards of a dozen rabbits crowded together in an
unsustainably dense group to illustrate how the delicate balance of the
Australian environment, can be upset by an imported species. The humble rabbit,
in itself, well trained and handled, has been proven to be a useful member of its
native habitat for hundreds of years, whereas, imported and allowed to run
riot, they are having a devastating and
long term effect on the Australian environment in just over 200. I also see the
rabbit, whose fecundity is legendary, as a metaphor for the human species whose
population is burgeoning out of control in many areas of the world least able
to sustain it.
You can catch them there next March!
