Bitter with Baggage Seeks Same: The Life and Times of Some Chickens - Hardcover

'An eerie silence quickly enveloped the Cohen family wagon. That last turn had been a grave mistake. They were no longer en route to California but heading south, deep into the heart of Kentucky'. With more personality than most people have to spare, New York artist Sloane Tanen's tiny yellow chickens negotiate the tricky modern world, filled with three-headed blind dates, menacing KFCs, playground popularity battles and annoyingly crowded yoga classes. They perch amid doll furniture, in scenes photographed in glorious colour and brilliantly captioned - their lives will strike you as strangely familiar...Charming, spiky with off-kilter wit (or waxing jobs gone terribly wrong), and somehow larger than life, these chickens win the hearts of all who behold them.

Sloane Tanen's work has been exhibited in a number of shows and can be found in private and corporate collections in Manhatten, Boston, San Francisco, and Los Angeles. She lives in New York.
