Today is Easter Monday and the day that many of you will be chomping through your Easter Eggs in glorious self-isolation...
It has reminded me of this project in 2013 that
Baxter & Bailey asked for my help with the material to make a rosette to place on a 75cm tall egg!
This is their entry to the Lindt Big Egg Hunt which comprised 101 giant Easter eggs (designed by a variety of artists and designers) which were hidden around Covent Garden in London as part of a charity egg hunt in support of
Action for Children. The BB entry seeks to address the chicken and the egg quandary and is philosophically titled
Eggsistentialism. Above is Dom Bailey pictured with their creation.
After the opening in London, the 101 eggs went on a month long UK tour around various cities and above you can see them at the railway station! You can read my original article from 2013
here.
Happy egg hunting...
