Times of London Clucks About Chicken

April 1, 2009

An article in The Times of London titled “Chicken and the treasures of ancient grease” introduces readers to Chicken: Low Art, High Calorie and its author: “Siaron Hughes has taken a photographic odyssey through the low-rent, high-cal world of London’s fried-chicken takeaways to compile a book that celebrates their lurid graphic iconography.”

Hughes answers questions about her deep-fried adventures documenting these eateries and talks about interviewing the workers and sign makers, including the “Picasso of poultry signage,” one Morris Cassanova, aka Mr. Chicken.

If you like the article, you’ll love the book!
