After close to 2 decades of making folk art inspired by antiques, it has been fun (and necessary!) to do some art which has no rules and can be a totally experimental. I'm not trying to make things that look like old things, but am finding ways to incorporate antique folk art motifs in experimental prints. I'm looking to combine crayon rubbings with gel printing. Using folk art chicken motifs, I'm going to make a series of Courage Chickens. Or maybe that should say, "Courage, chicken!" We will see what comes of this. Maybe they will be like a scorecard for a golf game. Maybe something will come that I like enough to frame and hang on my wall.
Courage, chicken!
