The Chickens are back ... and setting sail for Cactus Gallery in August! --As part of a 'Water' themed group exhibit, in conjunction with the 10th Annual Frogtown Art Walk:
My collection of paper fortunes has given sails to a fleet of tiny fortune-cookie ships:
I've named this set of Chicken Adventures 'An Ever Fixéd Mark,' from a line in Shakespeare's Sonnet 116:
"... it is an ever-fixéd mark,
That looks on tempests, and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken."
"... it is an ever-fixéd mark,
That looks on tempests, and is never shaken;
It is the star to every wandering bark,
Whose worth's unknown, although his height be taken."
This mixed-media/assemblage project included more work with thermoplastics: Worbla turned out to be the perfect material for these little wandering barks (their worth's, as-yet, unknown).
You can see these tiny sailors in person at Cactus Gallery;
'Water' runs August 13 through September 1, 2016.

" ... Love is not love / Which alters when it alteration finds, / Or bends with the remover to remove: / O no! it is an ever-fixéd mark / That looks on tempests and is never shaken; / It is the star to every wandering bark, / Whose worth’s unknown, although his height be taken."
Update: 'Delightful Mysteries' and 'Take a Chance' have sold!
"Arrange for death to find you in the midst of a great love affair with life; with words and notes; with the dog down on the floor or the rose garden down the street; with the glorious revelation great art leads us to expect. Die in a state of wonder at all there is and all that you didn't manage to get to. It is so gloriously exhausting to live, and I wasted so many opportunities. I want to be in love with things when the tide rolls out." ~Tennessee Williams
