Description

Did you know that you can buy approximately 250 tiny resin ducks online for a very low price? I started by bringing in a few at a time and leaving them in the windowsill, and of course denying any knowledge of their origins. Then someone started moving them and arranging them into little vignettes. This one reminds me of Shirley Jackson’s short story “The Lottery.” -Kate & CPL team
