Otto's screen printing workshop lies next to a free range chicken farm and he often watches the birds and their behaviour. They frequently fly over the fence, and one day a chicken entered the workshop. After meeting the bird face to face he decided to make a book about chickens, as they are not usually given due recognition.
This book is about the birds and ends to their advantage. Small centre-stiched screen printed booklet made out of one sheet of 200gsm Heritage Bookwhite.
