James Cook Art and Photography

The vaguely rabbit shaped “hole” at the top of the image and the overall psychedelic feel of this image brings to mind the Jefferson Airplane classic, White Rabbit.

“When you go chasing rabbits, you know you’re bound to fall.”

This piece is based upon a photograph of a wall hanging my mother-in-law made for me. The design is a traditional block pattern that was also used on a quilt my grandmother  made that was a favorite of mine as a child. As such the image has multiple layers of meaning for me representing my memories of the people who made them and also of my childhood.

The “destroyed” parts of the image represent loss:

• loss of childhood
• loss of individuals close to me
• And the loss of memory experience by the elderly who the quilt also symbolizes for me.
