Interactive Dream Art


This little white-out bunny came to me in a dream.

This little white-out bunny-in-the-shadows has so much to say, I'm not sure how to honor Bunny's story! I don't even know how to name it or what to call this art piece. 

I mean, I know what I would call Bunny. I know what Bunny means to me today. (Who can know what Bunny will mean to me tomorrow?)

This little white-out bunny is actually pure gold and quite massive. Whatever it is or becomes, it will be in its own walled off space in the gallery, encountering and healing beyond me.



The rotating top and interchangeable disks are rimmed with gold leaf. (Those who know my work will see the circle and the square all over this, too.) I lined the top and shelves with soft, white felt.

Chloe helped with the overall vision. Cody (and Dad) made my sketch come alive. Even down to the pass-through shelves. 


 The interchangeable disks (lit from one side only) in order:
 
 

The deep shadow-play on these things is intentional, mesmerizing and clarifies with each disk. You really must encounter it in movement, experientially.

Very cool! There is some serious talent in your family! :)

Just a question--do the disks spin on their own, or what is the deal with that? I like that gold bunny!

The whole circle spins. The disks sit on top and turn with it.

It's amazing to me that your dream like this! I never do, or at least never remember.
