Detail shots of my “Welcome to Inlé” sculpture, completed early July, 2014. Please see my blog for another photoset of this piece—I couldn’t fit all the images into one post! (Link: http://blackrabbitsculpture.tumblr.com/post/98614748684/as-promised-heres-the-turnaround-photoset-for-my)

I realize I mentioned writing more about the piece when I posted these, but now I can’t for the life of me remember what it was I wanted to say.

Watership Down was one of the first novels I read as a child, probably at 10 or 12. I saw the animated film soon after, and it’s clear to me that both the book and the movie made an indelible impression on me. I reread the book every two or three years, and it hasn’t lost any of its power or impact. Most of all, I’m enthralled by the rich stories the rabbits share with one another throughout the novel. My love for mythology was certainly encouraged by reading WSD as a child.

Thanks for the wonderful response to this piece so far, you amazing folks!

Materials and dimensions and all that other good stuff can be found on the turnaround photoset that’s posted on my Tumblr, right below this post.
