Follow the white rabbit

All the way through my project I wanted to dedicate one piece just to the white rabbit on his own. This was the finished result. Inkeeping with the theme I have fashioned the rabbits head and facial features similar to that of flower petals with the colour, shapes and even the physical curling into 3d petals, I've never done this before but it looks brilliant and really compliments the other pieces in my project. Although the rabbit isn't very white I've incorporated various patterned wallpapers that are white, cream or silver to compliment the paint colours and surrounding objects such as the flowers and the book paper which shows my skills when it comes to colour and pattern selection and how well I can work with complimentary colours. It may not look like I've put any thought into it but every piece was carefully selected out of my collection of materials and placed presicely underneath or over each layer. The twigs framing the rabbits head were fiddly to do, they are made out of wallpaper that mimicks the texture of bark on trees but originally they were thin and long so I had to create small templates in the shape of the twigs above and carefully cut them out of wallpaper and stick them on piece by piece to create what you see in this image. I also felt using book paper was a really important part of the process because not only does it create a collective amongst the other pieces but also, the audience is visually reminded of the context of each piece with the inspiration being derived from a book which I think is a great way of visually connecting with the audience.
Overall I think this piece worked out well, it's feminine, visually creative, has a lot of technical skill and aesthetically pleasing.
