ABOUT THE ARTWORK
Rabbit is part of artist Liza vonRosenstiel's body of works that combine images of animals with found objects to create sculptural icons of each animal. Part of a series called "Ranch Work", completed while vonRosenstiel taught at Deep Springs College in California, this piece depicts a wild rabbit that her dog loved to chase but could never catch.
This artwork was acquired for the State Art Collection in partnership with Central Kitsap School District.
