Bidding on this lot has finished

This lot was sold at auction for £18000.00

This lot was sold at auction for £17000.00

As the big egg hunt is quite a fun project in its entirety, I wanted to make a piece that was playful not only in the concept but also in the form. This is firstly why I chose not to use the standard fibre glass egg that each artist had been allocated, and instead have the same form remodelled in Perspex, ...

The stud’s pointed edge has time and again offered tactile dramatisation to my vivid sculptural forms in jewellery. As it has become my signature, it seemed fitting to create an iconically elegant shape, barbaric in its beauty, offering a protective new take on such a well recognised form.
