Sorry, I know that puns are the lowest form of humor but it just came out!
Here are photos of the latest egg projects. The eggs needed to be in a protected setting and I wanted to include more natural materials so I enclosed them in wood crates and shadow boxes. I love Joseph Cornell assemblages so maybe his work had an influence on me. BTW, the Art Institute of Chicago has a huge, dimly lit cabinet full of Cornell pieces! Click here to see his work.
Included media includes hand-made paper (paper towels and denim pulp) “nests” and discs, branches from my dad’s shed, marbles from husband’s childhood collection and screen wire. And a print of a painting I did of my grandmother Mama Pate!
I won’t say these are finished and there are other projects on the back burner, so stay tuned.
