"Mr. Duffy lived a short distance from his body." ― James Joyce, Dubliners This Zen Chicken is in layers: the Vermillion Enso in the background, the pale moss acrylic in the middle, and the loose ink line drawing in the foreground. The last layer is the light in the eyes and highlight on the beak in white ink. The chicken doesn't arrive into the composition until the ink layer. Playing off the warm and cool colors emphasizes the negative and empty space that fits with the James Joyce quotation and the Zen circles. The colors also mystify the sense of space -- the vermillion wants to pop forward. Spontaneous Creativity Drawing in Acrylic and Ink on 16 x 12 inch Canson Watercolor Board, matted in an off white into acid-free 16 x 20 inch Cresent mat.

Honoria Starbuck (Miami, Florida) grew up on Key Biscayne, an island off the coast of Miami. She studied art and art history at the University of Texas and holds an interdisciplinary PhD in Fine Arts, Communications, and Education. Honoria is influenced by art history stretching back to cave art. The zen chicken series is specifically influenced by expressive calligraphic artists and the asemic writing movement. Zen chickens also stem from the abstraction of Ikebana, the flowing flowers of Emile Nolde, the frottage of Max Ernst, the eye of Man Ray and Dada, the diffusion of ink by George Grosz, as well as current events. In addition, Honoria’s artwork is a form of moving meditation closely related to her 14-year practice of tai chi. Honoria has decades of diverse experiences as a Mail Artist in the international Correspondence Art Network through which her work has been exhibited in over 400 exhibitions including twice in the Venice Biennale. Honoria has also worked in Internet art creating the first Internet opera (1995) which was recognized by the Global Bangemann Challenge for innovation. Honoria’s theme is flow. Flow connects the molecules of pigment into patterns on the paper and intellectual themes flow from one individual artwork into the next. The Zen Chicken theme has a strong current of humor and flexibility as the dilettante rooster roams through a wide range of entanglements from Japanese flower arranging to modern art. Honoria is a professor of practice in the Art and Entertainment Technology Department in the College of Fine Art at The University of Texas at Austin.
