Reasons to Raise Chickens

acrylic, gouache, and ink on hardboard, 2014

24”h x 36”w

My paintings transform images of domestic perfection sources from social media into abstracted musings on the joy and futility of chasing that very perfection. Last spring, I noticed an abundance of photos of backyard chickens posted on Instagram. In addition to fresh eggs, the reasons to raise one's own chickens may include their photogentic colors and patterns.
