I started this project emphasizing the symmetry and line of the egg. I initially did this by creating an origami rectangle to juxtapose the oval shape of the egg, then I added interlocking strips of black card stock to emphasize the curve of the egg. I cut the egg in half bilaterally and placed each hemisphere in its own 'compartment' made by the card stock.
As my sculpture evolved it took on the appearance of eyes and of overly-minimalist modern art.
Ultimately I am pleased with the final product. The egg is bisected vertically and horizontally from which ever angle it is viewed. The large circular stand mimics, but does not duplicate the oval shape, and despite its size, is ethereal enough to not take away from the egg.
