Watership Down in the Basement

2022

Photoshop

This work was in response to an assignment to depict a picture within a picture. I chose to show the juxtaposition between the audiobook I was listening to and the work I was creating. Featured in the bottom left is a previous work, Checkered Past, that is grim in subject matter, and in this work, I am drawing said piece in the basement computer lab where drawing tablets are stored. In my headphones though, I am listening to the beginning of Watership Down, which features a crew of rabbits constantly fleeing through fields. The grey text is a quote that summarizes their rabbit mythology religion. I aimed for technical looseness and clarity of the two moods in this work.
