If You'll Be My Whitsett Chicken

I'll be your Tennessee lamb

The Whitsett Chicken by Belgian artist, Elsje Derammelaere

I invite you to read some more about chickens by Belgian artist, Elsje Derammelaere.

And check out her very different, and so very modern chicken below…

“We are bombarded on a daily basis with images meant to provoke, persuade and sometimes just plain shock us. Imagery is all about 'the extra', and it can deceive us into thinking 'the ordinary' of everyday life has little value or beauty, if any. I live and work on my grandparents' historic farm; my studio is located in a former chicken stable there. My mosaic chickens present reminders of both the beauty and joy of 'ordinary' everyday life; a simple humble chicken is an animal that everyone – anywhere in this world – knows and can afford. A chicken is satisfied with the leftovers of the table, gives us eggs, and most importantly, connects me with my grandparents, who settled on this farm before me.”
