an unusual and creative idea… the word “strip”, so specific to a certain kind of shopping area is heightened I think, by the idea of hubcaps which taken off a car might result in it being stripped… but the turkey is not quite capable of this … and yet it is suggestive… I like this subtle playful almost surreal image and yet it is the knid of thing that just … happens, one might just chance to see it and … language and turkey meet their match!
