We have shown Molly and Peter recently in our 510 All Stars Show and both made two of the show favorites. Peter Harris's "Drunk Bunnies" sold in presale and he revisits the degenerate bunny theme here. His past show at Nielsen Arts was "Foofaraw" where he took a more conventional exploration of Fairy Tale and Storybook themes- including Alice and Wonderland and Winnie the Pooh.

In Inexplicable Goings-Ons" Peter explores the underbelly of his fairy tale characters and along with other themes. We are excited to see the work and looking forward to another fabulous window installation to accompany the show.
