The art of eggs

What is an egg? My answer may be an oval object. If it is cook, it turns to be my breakfast .If it is hatched out, it becomes a chick. And then what is the art of egg? I had thought it maybe some color painting on the egg shell or maybe the egg is used to cook some unique shape food. When I saw some photos of artistic works from master Franc Grom, I can’t believe there is such incredible art on the fragile egg shell. He needs to create around 2500 to 3000 holes on the egg shell to maintain the decorative design.

When one form is changed (remediated?) into another form, the new form of the object is still itself? Those eggs are either the eggs or the art? It is not surprise that Franc Grom’s egg works are art no matter what kind of materials (the egg) he uses. The reasons why are that those eggs are no longer as simple as eggs and those egg shells present the artistic idea. The material-egg shell could be transparent during the process, and what we see is an art rather than an egg shell. That is to say, we focus on the representation of the art on the egg and then forget its origin. This can be explained more clearly on the other egg shell art. Like the artist carve on the art shell like the painting, and this is about the religion. Will we be interested more in the religious story rather than the shell? And when we enjoy this art, we spotlight the carve painting. In a similar way, we don’t change the surface of the egg, but we use the egg to make up another form, and we finally have the same attitude towards the form of eggs. Have a look at the Picture. We might still consider it is the 50 Yuan Cash, not an individual egg.
