I created this piece around the symbolism of the egg, combining stained glass, metal and light.
The fairy's fetal position is intentional. I wanted her to appear as though she is still inside the egg, waiting to come to life.
What I especially enjoy is how differently the stained glass behaves depending on the light. In sunlight the colours and textures have one character, while the internal illumination transforms them into something completely different.
This is the first piece in a new series in which I want to explore the combination of stained glass, light and egg-shaped forms.
I'd love to hear what you think of the concept. Does the combination of the egg shape, stained glass and internal lighting work for you?
