Black-tailed Jackrabbit

This contemporary linocut print captures the alert stillness of the black-tailed jackrabbit, a familiar presence throughout the landscapes of the American West and Western Colorado. Defined by bold black-and-white contrast and expressive carved linework, the composition emphasizes the animal’s heightened awareness—ears raised, body poised between rest and flight. The reduction of detail into simplified graphic forms reflects both the immediacy of the printmaking process and the fleeting encounters that shape our relationship with wildlife and place. Rooted in Farron Khan’s ongoing exploration of landscape, observation, and resilience, the piece reflects on the quiet tension and adaptability found within the natural world.
