Frozen Chicken - Annapolis, MD - Figurative Public Sculpture on Waymarking.com

In October 2012, the first two figurative chicken sculptures were placed along West Street in downtown Annapolis, MD. (See WMFHP5 and WMFHVW links below) In April 2013, at least three more new figurative public sculptures of chicken-themed art have been added along West Street. The chicken art featured in this waymark is titled "Frozen Chicken" and is located between the sidewalk and the gas pumps at the Gulf gas station in downtown Annapolis, MD, at 235 West Street, at the intersection of West Street and Jefferson, near the corner of West Street and Monticello Ave. The Frozen Chicken is painted to look like a plucked chichen, with just the features of the skin showing, sans feathers, except for the chickens head which is surrounded by a box frame. This frame represents an ice cube that is to preserve the plucked chicken for further use. The chicken sculpture is about 5 feet tall and mounted on a V-shaped base, supported to the base by two metal rods holding up the fiberglass form of the chicken. There are several waymarks found nearby and at the time of the posting of this waymark entry, there was a Munzee marker attached.

Casey Johnson is the artist who created the Frozen Chicken. He is a graduate of Maryland Institute College of Art and is currently the Director of the artist-in-residence program of Creative Paradox and is supervising several other artists.

The City of Annapolis Art in Public Places Committee (AIPPC) manages this Hatching the Arts in Annapolis project. The Arts Council of Anne Arundel County also gives supports to the chicken art project. The current chickens of the Hatch the Arts in Annapolis are all located along West Street between Westgate Circle and Church Circle. All are visible from the street.
