My Rabbit is metaphor for Barker's nostalgia for the past and manifests the artist's preference to deal with ordinary items of daily use. The rabbit jelly mould was hardly designed for aesthetic reasons, but by sand-casting this object, destined to be filled in order to produce a temporary cast of their interior shape, Barker redesignates its function. Barker came to sculptural maturity in 1966. His work was exhibited at high-profile galleries in London and in Europe throughout the 1970's, and has been included in numerous surveys and international exhibitions of Pop Art since. By replicating functional, mass-produced objects in gleaming metals, Barker has redefined Marcel Duchamp's concept of the 'ready-made'. His recreations of the ordinary awaken a sense of amazement at the beauty of the familiar, reinventing the surrounding world, giving his art a life-enhancing quality.
