Description
CIRRUS is a distinctive rabbit sculpture handcrafted by Suzanne McRae, in which antique materials and textile techniques are transformed into a figure of remarkable expressive presence.
The piece depicts a delicate, stylised rabbit with an elongated silhouette and intense gaze, characterised by its striking turquoise eyes, which lend depth and an almost dreamlike quality to the figure. Its body is made from antique dyed lace, carefully worked and assembled by hand, while the ears are crafted from a 19th-century French printed cotton fabric, adding visual richness and historical value to the piece.
The combination of textures, softly aged tones and subtle construction details enhances the handcrafted nature of the work. The traces of time found in the materials — slight irregularities, wear and variations in tone — are not concealed, but embraced as an essential part of the piece and its beauty.
The result is a contemporary sculpture of great sensitivity, where the memory held within antique textiles is transformed into a character filled with poetry, fragility and personality.
A unique and deeply evocative piece, perfect for those who appreciate textile art, materials with history and objects with soul.
