Bird's Brain
26.25" X 43"
Engraving inks and oils on hardboard

A bird is looking for the same rank as his breeder.

A person who you are familiar with, approaches you in a most surprising manner. Being disrespectful towards a distinguished person provoks indignation. Not being considerate towards others is an offense to their dignity. (Benin)

Lè poul mare, ravèt fè li esplikasyon.

It is when the hen is tied, that the cockroach, allows himself to curse her out. (Haiti)
