Artist Statement

Since most of the artwork I create is done on either canvas or panel, I really enjoyed the challenge of experimenting with this unusual surface, as well as trying out some new techniques and materials.  For this piece, I started with a layer of silver foil, then added bits of silver glitter.  The twisted wing imagery began as an ink drawing, which I photographed then digitally manipulated.  I printed the images with an ink jet printer, then covered that surface with pouring medium.  Once the pouring medium was dry, I used water to remove the paper and applied the resulting transparent gels to the surface of the egg.  After completing that layer, I used acrylic paint to incorporate facial features into some of the feather shapes.  There is also a female companion egg, but she was not able to join Marko Pollo on his adventures.
