The goal with this piece was to explore the shapes of the animals within the story of "The Little Red Hen" and translate it into human characters designs.
The spark of this idea was the works by Charles Le Brun (1619 – 1690) "Physiognomic Heads".
I hope that I don't have to tell you that physiognomy is a wildly outdated concept, but in an artistic sense these strange half animal half humans sparked a great interest in me, how would it be if people vaguely looked like fauna?
I wanted to take a go at it in my own way, subvert expectations while holding onto the common characteristic of each animal.
Still, as the story goes, they are all lazy, except for the chicken.
