Rabbit Series

This grey rabbit was actually my nephew's, but later given to me by his mum. It became my subject 'model' in my pastime then. To draw the rabbit was not an easy task at all, because it would often move around, turning left and right... So I had to do quick observations and rely on impression and memory to get the drawings done. As for the rabbit, it soon grew too big for the cage - in my sister-in-law Alice's description - "can only take one hop"! Ha, how pitiful! So I found a school in the neighbourhood eventually, willing to keep it in their ecological garden. I think it was a great new home for the rabbit!







Based on the drawings above, I further developed them into 1-colour and 3-colour linocut printing.
