Rosemary Fiore’s Ceramic Roadrunner Death Scenes
My ceramic landscapes create new endings for the cartoon drama of Wile E. Coyote and the Roadrunner. In the cartoon, the coyote’s rudimentary traps backfire. His efforts to catch the bird are always for naught. In my “Death Scenes”, the traps succeed forcing the drama to end with the total destruction of the roadrunner.
“Death Scene: The Roadrunner is Struck Down by a Fifth of Bumble Bees”
“Death Scene: the Roadrunner, Trapped in a Camouflaged Pot Hole, is Eaten”
“Death Scene: While Enjoying a Cliff-top View, the Roadrunner’s Throat is Chewed Through”
