The evolution of Cat Rabbit
Cat Rabbit is a Hobart based artist and toy designer who constantly creeps locals out with her bizarre doll creations. Cat Rabbit, who is often seen bleeding from the fingertips whilst looking at kittens in a pet store window, is making the journey from her Tasmanian base to Sydney to delight us with her plush creatures. Her hand-sewn creations can be seen at Newtown’s Ruban Rat designer toy store and gallery from May 9th.
