The Man Who Eats Meat Cannot Sneer at the Butcher

This small (15cm high) sculpture, titled The Man Who Eats Meat Cannot Sneer at the Butcher, was from the same exhibition as the works in this post and this one. It's a figure constructed from wire and chicken bones, and covered with sewn, cooked chicken skin, which I then salted to preserve it.

I worried about storing something with chicken skin on it, even preserved as it was. Eventually I took the skin off and had it outside in a friend's garden for a year or so. The wire rusted and the chicken bones have dried out.
