Emily Floyd
JACKALOPE
Emily Floyd was commissioned by Jackalope Hotel on Victoria’s Mornington Peninsula to create a monumental sculpture of the hotel’s namesake. The mythical Jackalope – an abstracted jackrabbit with antelope horns – stands over six metres tall in the hotel’s forecourt. The artwork sets the tone for the hotel, merging hospitality with art, theatre and mythology. This artwork is a continuation of Floyd’s public art practice that explores large-scale, geometric and abstract forms that are often reminiscent of childhood toys.
