Innocent little bunnies

Susan Silvester's résumé includes sculpting animation models for Pee-wee's Playhouse and Teddy Grahams commercials and working on computer games and prototypes for toys. So it's not surprising that her personal artwork also contains young subjects, mysterious story-time forest-like settings and animals. Particularly bunnies, which Silvester says symbolize innocence. Sometimes the children are dressed like bunnies, too. But the moments Silvester illustrates are quiet pauses of contemplation or melancholy, as if they are the moments of transition between being a carefree child and becoming a self-aware young person, losing that innocence of youth. With bunnies.
