One of twenty-four portraits of Shinnecock Family Flock Padovana Roosters and Hens.
Sunday, January 25, 2015
A context for this series of portraits is Sandrow’s flock of Padovana chickens whose ancestral heritage to Gallus Gallus (Red Junglefowl) and the feathered Avian Dinosaurs one hundred and sixty million years ago, and the First Peoples who found their faces and feathers of inspiration for Oceanic, South American, African and Native American Regalia including Shinnecock Nation.
Viewed together the portraits exhibit a visual history of Sandrow’s Flock. Individually, Chickens and their feathers are generally associated with popular and/or low culture. These large-scale portraits reference the artistic practice of the Pop Movement (Lichtenstein's studio nearby, Warhol's further east); photographed by Skogsbergh in the minute detail of scientific investigations. Yet, despite technological advancements since the first humans voiced their dream to fly, feathered birds descended like Gallus Gallus remain the only beings capable of unassisted sustained flight.
