Hay, known for his precision and innovative use of materials, employs techniques aligned with Minimalism by focusing on clean lines and pared-down aesthetics. The title suggests a reference to the textured, utilitarian material of chicken wire, inviting viewers to consider themes of containment, fragility, and everyday materiality.
