Tar Baby come out to Play

This is a recent image that is part of a portfolio of prints I am still developing. This is my favourite so far. I am concerned though that my representation of characters from the Brer Rabbit story does not cause offence so I would welcome responses along these lines. The work is meant to be a peaceful and playful response to what was originally a tale about trickery and deception. Brer rabbit decides he wants to make a playmate of Tar Baby and pulls her away from the original context therby usurping Brer Foxes intentions.

Great!!!

Artist Reply: Analua --thank you for your positive response - I just loved your cat photographs and the photographs of you. I think you should do more art works using yourself as the subject but maybe with objects and settings that have 'surreal' undertones. I hope you do not mind me saying this. Another thing I notice about you is that you are a wonderful communicator - that really shines through in your portfolio !!. bye for now Aine
