WTF Bunny and Severance
Grant Pound
Acrylic, ink, block print, paper
36”x 48”x 1.5”
At a casino in Blackhawk, Colorado, I saw a group of Japanese tourists at the $1.99 breakfast dressed head to toe in cowboy outfits. It reminded me that people all over the world love the myth of the American West. Brave cowboys fighting off wild Indians, hardy miners surviving brutal winters, burley loggers felling mammoth trees, gutsy pioneer families forsaking their homeland. The myth doesn’t seem to include the massacres, forced migrations, immigrant labor, greed and treachery. Yet, the west is still a beautiful, magical place. The landscape bears scars, but still inspires. The mountains, plains, arroyos, canyons, deserts, rivers and flora and fauna fill my heart with wonder and joy. The WTF Bunny Series is my reaction to the contradiction of the West’s natural beauty and humanity’s intervention and extraction of these lands. The WTF Bunny is not passing judgment as standing in wonder at what mankind has wrought. Perhaps he even sees accidental beauty in the altered landscape
