Painted concrete

The idea of the cute fluffy bunny has been flipped on its head with this Public Art Acquisition. The artwork recasts the rabbit as a sinister invasive species, which has been responsible for much environmental damage across the nation.

The artwork created by local artist Mark Cuthbertson is certain to cause people to question the work and its intent.

Mark has said of this latest series…
This current body of work is exploring metaphors of colonisation & domestication within a broad national context, who we are & where we have come from. The work is questioning our colonial history, our family heritage, the idea of landownership. A story of ill-gotten gain & of thieves in the night. The work is about a clash of cultures and beliefs, rendered in concrete, the bed rock of the new empire. A metaphorical symbol of the country's evolving landscape.
