Resin, wire, glass eyes, acrylic paints, 4 1/4” Height x 2 1/2 Width x 2 Depth

Part rabbit, part bird, this Alpine inhabitant of Bavaria does its best to stay out of sight of human eyes.

Carisa Swenson sculpts and stitches curiously uncanny creatures that strike a balance between odd and endearing, fantastical and familiar. Her passion for creating this eccentric menagerie of peculiar beast spring for many sources -mythology, folk tales, and the works of stop motion masters. She lives and works in New York City.
