Babe in the Egg
Private Collection
This freestanding piece measures approximately 6" by 6" and is 5/8" thick. Wooden frame with a gold paint underlay onto which strips of hand-made paper have been glazed. Inset into the frame is glass covered with stained paper onto which a clamshell has been adhered. Inside the shell is a stone, a bone, and below it a bone and a shell. We are all babes in the egg, like this little stone, with wings, like that little bone, waiting to unfold. Some have a troublesome ladder to climb once born, while others simple spread their wings and fly.
