Neville Page's, 'Black Rabbit'

​

"Utilizing the themes of “Alice in Wonderland”, I set out to create a piece of art that possessed aesthetics but delivers an important message. “Black Rabbit” attempts to tell the story of Albinism, specifically in Tanzania, where these special people are hunted, persecuted and mutilated for their limbs (which are perceived to be good luck charms). 

Delicate and complex filigree cradle a beautiful shell of a classic rabbit form. So delicate is the structure and composition that one has to understand how to handle it to mindfully interact, experience and work with the subject. 

Although white in color, black at the core. 

Choosing to use the rabbit was deliberate as it directly points at those of us who also ignorantly shared in this mindset; many of us had a rabbits foot for good luck when we were children. Understanding ones own vulnerability to ignorance may give way to educating others to theirs."
