egg shelter thoughts


interactive with viewer---eating eggs -hard boiled-peeling
                                      considering specialness/cleverness of nature
                                      cracking shell-separating egg through fingers-instructions
                                      haribo eggs inside shell to crack open-choc filled eggs-cooked egg filled eggs

house/shelter/coop made from fried eggs
egg mountain

sculpture from hard boiled/chopped/fried
eating eggs peeling self/hard boiled with dipping pots



SIGNIFICANCE OF INTERACTION?
considering nature
questioning fragility
questioning strength



an egg is an external womb  we break that open with little thought

we think were so clever what about nature?what about the egg?



eggs as shelter    in micro=embreyonic cells    in macro=egg production mass scale-chicken farms
egg=an oval-rugby ball-training? a container for yolk and white
