The idea of my casting project was to take something that was homemade and one of a kind as well as being soft and make it mass produced and hard. I decided to crochet a rabbit that I would use for the casting. The reason for using a rabbit was because its an animal that is typically associated with multiplying quickly. I painted some in pastel colors, one in silver, and one in gold. I then arranged them in a diagonal line to simulate a convener belt feel. The gold and silver sat on the far end and the original crochet rabbit, in pieces, on the opposite, falling off . The arrangement communicates the rejection of classic home made items and the welcoming of a line of mass produced products.
(John Bartell) I love the composition of this piece - destruction followed by an eerie perfection. You really did an awesome job here.
