"Factory" is a work of continuity in my exploration of humans' consumer relationship with the planet. Chickens are symbols of consumption. Symbols of exploitation, perversion, hierarchy, depersonalisation, collective passivity. Symbols of the human condition. Eggs are the product, the offspring, and the figurative and literal future of these chickens. 

 Within Factory lies a multiplicitous single  artwork titled ‘Annual’.

Particularly in the context of America, I am interested in how our society treats abundance in spite of the conditions that must be satisfied to bring us to the point of it; our ease of access to chickens through an isolated practice of consumption as opposed to connection raises several questions for me. ‘Annual’ touches on themes of fertility, domestication and passivity, industrialisation, the exploitation of bodies and of the Earth, the dichotomy between the man-made and the ‘natural’, as well as an overarching examination of consumer culture. My work is not intended to be a vocal critique or didactic statement on anything in particular, but instead, questions the imitative quality to the way we interact with whom we consume. The absurdity of my chickens is underlined by an implicit reflection on humans’ tendency to diminish the lives of other beings, despite our own likeness to them.
