| Fabergé Eggs |
| These proletarian Fabergé eggs are basically just a set of blown-out eggshells with sloppy marker drawings and stands. They came out of my working with maps and the notion that ostrich eggs had historically been used as canvases for maps of the globe. On these eggs, the graphic markings I developed for The World from Above maps have gone fully abstract and totally silly. The eggs were first shown as frail but pompous sculptures on pedestals in my first solo show at greengrassi in London, January 2004. See The World from Above main page. See installation shots from the show at greengrassi. |
