Description
A photographic exploration of one artist's collection of intricately embellished eggs.
Egg artist Isabel B. Anthony's lifelong passion for embellishing eggs-ignited in the 1960s by a Ladies' Home Journal article about the enameled and precious-jeweled Easter eggs of world-renowned Russian jeweler Peter Carl Fabergé-is reflected in this curated collection, styled and photographed by Arshia Khan.
Beginning as blown hen, goose, duck, turkey, emu, and ostrich eggs, Anthony transforms these canvases into a striking works of art through embellishment with decoupage, paint, Austrian sequins and beads, German miniature cotton flowers, English netting, French silk velvet ribbons, vintage jewels, chains, miniature birds, and whimsical found objects. No two are alike, each beckoning the observer with its unique narrative and personality.
