SOMETHING HOLY is an abstract painting assemblage i created using egg shells and acrylic paint in a refurbished antique frame. each piece of shell is painted with several layers of acrylic for reinforcement and a smooth finish.

as one of the most iconic naturally occurring objects, the egg holds high intrigue for me. the broken shells speak of life and death, fragility and strength, past and future, mystery, transformation, and possibility. handling each vulnerable piece becomes a meditation on longing,

remembrance, and becoming one’s true self. naturally, this process requires the slow savoring

of countless pots of tea, which spill into the painting, adding the only color.
