Awkward
Ceramic 16.75 x 9 x 8
$650

 

Carolyn’s latest whimsical bunny is sure to make you smile…

 

My sculptures are playful and quirky and often place the subjects in unlikely situations. Birds are riding when they can fly; polar bears sailing when they can swim. Many of my characters act against their usual instincts; sweet lions and fierce rabbits. All are meant to have us pause and consider all we have in common with our fellow creatures. – Carolyn Houg
