Boom-Chicka


Boom-Chicka, mixed media sculpture by Sherry Candy Lane has evolved from my love of Easter, as a child, and as a grown-up.
The round mesh lidded container was found at Pier I. In the background there is a painted lid of the woman's face. She wears a yellow and blue hat & has perfect curls for Chicka-watching. She seems to be glimpsing in on the yellow round framed post card shot of a newly hatched chick.
Within the sphere of activity is a separate round box with a plush nest of colorful, vintage pipe cleaner chicks, speckled eggs, yellow and pink basket grass protected by a sprig of a fairy who keeps the mama yellow bird safe from the real world.
A happy canary tops the round box, proudly singing to a pink butterfly.
Polka dots, speckles, circles, feathers, eggs, chicks, girl chick,fairy, bird, & stick-chick gathered in a boom-chicka array to celebrate the colors and joy of Easter.

Guarding the scene is a perky Chick on a stick with pink party hat & pink frills.
