EGG-stravaganza

We are pleased to announce our upcoming gallery show titled “EGG-stravaganza”. This show will feature approximately 50 all new, never before exhibited, photographs. The theme of the show is obviously about eggs. Cathy and I have been photographing eggs for the past year (and we still have a few to go) in preparation for the show. Eggs have an almost mystical place in most cultures and we wanted to explore this simple but interesting subject. The photographs are a study of shape, shadow, light and texture. We have also included a number of “whimsical” photos just for fun.

What makes this show even more exciting is that we will also be exhibiting, for the first time anywhere, my mother’s egg art collection. For 20 years my mother, Shirley, created the most exquisite art works from real eggs. Using everything from a robin’s egg to an ostrich egg she fabricated works of art to rival the famous Faberge eggs of 19th century Russia. To learn more about her work check out this video on YouTube. We also have a free eBook of her work available on our website.

Our show runs from April 3 to 27 at the aRt Cottage in Concord. An opening reception will be held on Saturday, April 6th from 2 to 5 pm. Please join us for this interesting show. You won’t be disappointed.
