> DESCRIPTION

Sunroom Project Space | May 19—July 1, 2012

To create this highly personal and contemplative sculptural installation, Annie Varnot collected unsellable eggs from a poultry farmer that she befriended in Nova Scotia during an artist residency. She then washed and hollowed the dirty or irregularly shaped eggs and set them in plaster, creating ambiguous forms with odd protrusions that seem mysterious yet strangely familiar. For this project, the room is filled with these white sculptures, setting up a serene space for contemplating life’s impermanence, as well as the potential for growth and renewal.
