Layer Hens

mid-fire, underglaze, glaze
26 x 18 x .5 cm

An A4 sheet of paper; a chillingly small and defined space.
This restrictive dimension, the approximate area a single hen is allotted in a battery cage starkly symbolises lives confined not just by metal prisions but by the unnatural biology imposed upon them.

They will never dust-bathe.

They will never stretch out their wings.

They will never feel dirt beneath their feet.

They will never be seen.
