The sun disappears over the horizon and a tiny pair of black, marble like eyes peeps out of a tree hollow. Is it a mouse? The cat thought it was. No it’s too fat for a mouse; she has a pouch full of young. In a week or so the joeys will hop off, independent of their mother, she will only live for another week, her job being done. Leave it alone pussycat, the rabbits are tastier I’m sure.
This original artwork is created on a wire frame, covered with a mix of fabric scraps.

I acknowledge the Wadawurrung as the Traditional Owners and Protectors of the place where I live and work.
I acknowledge their ancestors who cared for the land, rivers and sea all of its creatures and plants for thousands of generations.
I pay my respects to the elders past, present and future.
