Free Range, 48 x 30 inches is made with a chinoiserie rather than toile wallpaper.
The Asian theme of this paper adds an exotic nature to the rooster who stands upright on his turf. Pictured within his body and near where his neck meets the wing, one can see people standing in a small pagoda. The plumage of his tail is made from the foliage of trees. In contrast to the exotic, is the fact the rooster will inevitably go to slaughter; on the right ankle above the talons, the number 34 is strapped to his leg, indicating that even though he has the freedom to roam around the yard, he is still tagged for commercial purposes.
