All About Eggs - An architectural ceramic composition covering a wall space of 5' x 3' x 3/4". The hen house is made of 3 tiles that fit together. The Rooster is a separate piece. In front of this composition is a pedestal that holds 3 or 4 whole eggs, beginning to crack open, inviting the viewer in to the piece. The eggs on the pedestal are nestled on a piece of draped cloth.
	The chicks hatch out of their shells in 9 steps with eggshells scattered about them. All these pieces have mounting holes on the back for easy hanging.
I carved each piece separately in clay and made 14 one-piece plaster molds. Each piece was cast with low fire white slip. Blue underglaze was painted into the line work and fired with no glaze to avoid a shiny surface. See the original illustrations that inspired this clay composition in the Print Gallery.
This series of tiles were early ideas for the "All About Eggs" architectural ceramic pieces shown here.
