About the Item

Artist's Statement At first I went to state fairs to do small drawings and little gestural sculptures of animals. Eventually I bought some chickens for models but soon realized it was no longer just the animal forms which interested me. It was the breeders, farmers, judges, record keepers, exhibitors, and the world that crossed and connected in a strange context. The fair glorifies extremes in size, movement, color, form, and thought; it celebrates assumptions surrounding male supremacy with measures of potency, production, stamina, and speed. It suggests an odd juxtaposition of the significant with the insignificant and does it all within a highly arbitrated and complex cultural circumstance. It is from this context, this microcosm, that I am seeking a form that has greater presence than that of its tangible objects and a potency that belies its delicate intimacy. Anne Martin, 1993
