I just think chickens are neat. Most people look at chickens and think ‘food’, or that their purpose is just laying eggs, but they’re more than that. Chickens have emotions and live complex social lives. By representing my personal connection and relationship with my pet chickens in three large close-up head drawings, the audience can see them as individuals with emotions.
