chickcheck
consists of six diptychs, 12”x16”, of amelia, clementine, lulu, peggy, delilah and charlie, baby chicks that my husband and I brought up in summer 2023. They images capture the chicks’ development at two and four weeks of age, as “babies” and “adolescents”, when you stil don’t know if they are actually going to become hens or roosters. The title refers to the “health check” - eyes, butts, weight gain - we performed every day as chick parents until they were able to move out of the heated tube in our bathroom to the crates in the sunroom.It also references the anticipation of the first eggs that represent the ultimate gender confirmation as well as the beginning of the neverending circle of life.
If you are interested in owning or showcasing the series please contact me. The chick(en)s are not for sale :)
