"We Only Eat Chickadees" (2023) features two masked beings which were created shortly after the artist's first spotting of a Carolina Chickadee at his New Orleans home. The tiny, winged visitor quickly became an obsession that would lead to a series of fictional paintings, an ongoing narrative. The ghoulish creatures in this scene represent that obsession; they live only to catch and eat chickadees, consuming nothing else.
