Lewis Carrol introduced the idiom of "going down the rabbit hole" In the opening chapter of his book, Alice’s Adventures in Wonderland. As the story goes, Alice follows the White Rabbit into his burrow, which transports her to the strange, surreal, and nonsensical world of Wonderland. Since the book's publication, the rabbit hole has become a metaphor for something that transports one into a surreal state or situation. Going through a rabbit hole can encapsulate a search for identity, transformation and belonging, the exploration of the unconscious, and the thrill of beginning new adventures. 2023 is the Year of the Rabbit. All Rabbit years are believed to bring happiness and good luck, but this is no ordinary Rabbit year, for 2023 is the year of the Black Water Rabbit—an especially gifted, creative rabbit that has not been seen since 1963. In honor of this special rabbit year, we have tailored an exhibition surrounding the idea of going down a rabbit hole. Enter the rabbit hole with Visions West, and join us in exploring a wonderland of new artworks!
