“Madame Bunny”

Artist’s Statement
As three friends enjoy a cook out, a miraculous vision appears. Madame Bunny captivates the three men, hypnotizing them under her spell until they vow obedience to the Bunny. The supplicants perform a ritual maypole dance honoring the power of the Bunny as the ultimate in pleasure.
