The eclectic and beautifully crafted exhibition, April Hares, is dedicated to the frivolous and absurd side of human nature.
Artist, Corinne Dany, has been a resident of the Southern Highlands for the past 20 years, with the flora and fauna of the region a major inspiration for her work.
"I found hares to be the one animal that closely resembles the funny side of human beings," Corinne said.
April Hares will feature a mix of sculpture, pastel, ceramic, oil and watercolour pieces.
"The exhibition will be a lot of fun and explore the funny themes in life," Corinne said.
"The sculptures are quite quirky and anthropomorphic.
"Hares have very expressive eyes and I wanted to capture that."
The paper mache sculptures will showcase Corinne's skillful tromp l'oel technique which will deceive the viewer into the belief that the paper and wire sculptures are actually made of bronze, fabric, timber and canvas.
One of the highlights of the exhibition will be an 18th century inspired theatre created from a display cabinet which was acquired from a local antique auction and other found embellishments.
The exhibition is set to delight with humour, puns and cheeky references at every turn.
April Hares Exhibition will be shown at the Milk Factory Gallery from April 1 - 30.
