Trick Hare 1994 
Acrylic on woven linen   28 x 40”

This piece is about one of the many ways which humans, as the species on top of both the food chain and the “usage chain” use animals.  Here is a rabbit jumping through flaming hoops in the service of human entertainment. 
   While this piece reflects on our treatment of animals, it also mirrors an all-too-frequent human situation.  Who hasn’t at some time or another felt like an animal being put through their paces, being made to jump through  hoops, even flaming ones?
