Concept and quality collide in this gorgeous fine art piece by PurpleRose. The varied colors and textures of the eggs are perfectly balanced with their straightforward monotone nest.

As I read this piece, layers of meaning rise to its surface; the raku firing leaving some parts of the eggs finished and bright, others rough and at times not as beautiful - mimicking the unfolding gestalt of life itself; the complete life hoped for.

Beautiful piece - truly excellent, gallery-worthy work.

FIRST COMMENT YAY! I love those textures, they're so realistic. I wonder why no one else commented....

Like Scarey Monkey Dragon said, the testures are very realistic I've tried working with clay before, it's not easy You have my respect!

Makire Says:

Very beautiful! And of course, I must mention the texture. I really want to just pick up one of those eggs and roll it around in my hand. Lovely work! :]
