Vessels of New Life Collage

In this mixed media piece I’ve used materials that reference the subject matter, the female body. I’ve used chicken egg shells (mostly collected from my father’s chooks) to create the torso and face as the various shades of shell represent skin tone and shades created by light. I was also inspired by the imperfections within the egg shells mimicking the imperfections of the skin. To add a touch of humour, I’ve chosen pieces of bought eggs which have a green stamp to represent the irises as a nod the subject’s eye colour. For the hair I’ve primarily used Grey Stripe Sunflower Seeds with Arborio Rice (a different kind of seed) for the highlights and crushed Pepper Corns (another seed type) to soften the hairline. The intrinsic link that underpins my piece is that both the subject matter and the materials used to represent it are all “Vessels of New Life”.
