Masterfully evolving from a variety of sources, both real and mythical, and expressing diverse meanings, the ambiguous hare has dominated Ken Ferguson's pottery since 1985. Taken from the famed Aesop fable, The Race is Not Always to the Swift combines Ferguson's hare with the Center's icon, the tortoise, in a race to the unexpected finish.
Depicting the hare eluding his antagonist, Rabbit Hiding From Fox comes from Southern folklore revolving around a witty trickster rabbit. Overlooking the nature center the Two Doves Sitting On a Branch Up High symbolize Love and Peace, how, the artist says, "we should see the world and all of the animals."
