Lepus, the Hare constellation that was placed just south of Orion, was a gift from Hermes and is said to honor the speed and courage of the rabbit. The middle of the animal’s body is the brightest star, the third-magnitude Alpha Leporis, called Arneb, and it brings extra light to those who witness it in the winter months.

Historically subversive creatures, rabbits teach us the importance of nurturing our instincts and always leaving a door open. Communal, gentle, and capable, they are able to harness both solar and lunar energies and remind us that we can have a future full of imagination and wisdom. 

The Sky Rabbit’s House will be part rabbit, part portal, part moving home. A wooden house with a beautifully crafted mosaic rabbit will glide gently throughout the atmosphere, creating a sense of softeness and never-ending love. It will be a guiding light to those who are lost, with the center beaming bright from its unique version of the star Arneb. Lepus will live in a 3-dimensional world, but carry all the magic of the cosmos.

We will be updating this page as the build continues! Please check back for updates!

My very first sculpture was realized in 2022 with the collaboration of my wonderful friends at One Hat One Hand in San Francisco. Based off one of my paintings, the sculpture sits about 12’ high and is rideable, with a huge truck spring and the unreal feeling of being a kid again.

The Lookout
Chapter 1: Commuications with the Moon

The Chakora bird sits patiently every night gazing at the sensational indifference of the moon. He is in deep, enduring love with her, and has dedicated his life to her elegance and beauty. He bathes in her moon light, whispers his secrets to her, and sits patiently without regret or expectation. He feeds on her moonbeams and captures them quietly in his feathers. After a long night with the moon, he goes home to his small laboratory, which he affectionately calls The Lookout, and gently sifts through all the moonbeams. He puts them in bottles, small boxes, suitcases, and even tiny charms for your neck, and sends them out into the world to strangers. Once received, they are opened with surprise, and people are overwhelmed with the feeling of love without expectation.

A tiny teetering wooden house, with stained glass windows and hidden secret messages throughout the structure will be pushed around by mosaic clouds and a beautiful mosaic moon. This is the laboratory of the Charkora, and is meant for people to sit with the moon beams and feel the universal language of the push-pull of complete and true love.
