Family of Rabbits

Family of Rabbits is a piece that platforms threatened species in our natural environment, inviting the viewer to stay in curiosity about the presence of rabbits in our gardens and parks and reminding us to distinguish between native and invasive species.

“This utility box depicts a family of New England cottontail rabbits, native to Rhode Island, as they hop through a flourished garden. The scene highlights the importance of dense, shrubby habitats in preserving the New England cottontail population.”

With this work, we connect local artists and the 195 District Park with the Providence Climate Justice Plan, centering The Avenue Concept’s vision to provide clear avenues for artists to create joy, dialogue, and inclusion in public art.
