Lot 1: SOLD 'The Big Bang Egg' by Aisha Caan
The egg is a symbol of creation that contains a form of life. It splits open and life appears, just like The Big Bang split from the Primary Nebula so that the heavens, the Earth and all of creation could form. I felt that this was very cohesive with my art practices – hence the title of the egg.

Lot 41: SOLD 'All the Stars, Moon & Sun' by Ajay Padda
We can all be whoever we want to be, but we just don't realise. Most will never stray from the cage, some will dare to step outside, and only a few will spread their wings and fly. All the stars and the moon and the sun belong to you.

Lot 104: SOLD 'Resurrection' by Polly Morgan
The yolk, that provides nourishment to the young chick, is no longer needed when that chick is dead. So I turned it into a balloon, a giant lung, to lift the body heavenwards.

Lot 196: SOLD 'ON / OEUF' by Oliver Clegg
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 materials used in the production of this egg have been reclaimed from Grimshaw’s latest building, reimagined and reconstructed to form this egg. So many materials are waiting for an opportunity to be re-used and with creativity we can make this happen.

Lot 2: 'Birth of Lilith' by Kristina Kurkina
Lilith - a serpent and the first wife of Adam – is the beginning of all sins. Beware of her sharp feathers cracking the egg and the long plait, which will inevitably seduce you to commit a misdeed.

Lot 6: 'S T U D' by Hannah Martin
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.

Lot 30: 'Eggshabbychic' by MIA
My inspiration comes from a 19th century Russian Easter egg that I saw in an exhibition in Milan years ago. This beautifully delicate work combines symbols of The Passion with floral decoration. I wanted to express the energy and happiness that anyone must feel when they find themselves in paradise ...
