Making the Voters Chicken: Follow the Instructions

9 x 11.5 x 3.5 inches, yarn, felt, rigid foam, canvas, wire, paper, ink, acrylic paint, fabric stiffener, wood box

Those papers flying around the chicken represent forms and instructions that confound many people attempting to vote by mail. While a few states have universal vote by mail systems, most have layers of rules restricting who can vote absentee. Even when permitted, some states impose layers of paperwork, making it difficult to access the ballot box. This work is part of a series called Making the Voters Chicken.
