It is extraordinarily difficult to find a love relationship that fits; a simple endeavor but one of the most technically challenging to execute.

In order for this piece to work, the eggs had to be exactly the same size and shape. Even with my vast experience with eggs, it wasn’t until creating this piece, that I realized how subtly different they are, like fingerprints: no two are exactly alike. Tom Birchard, owner of Veselka Restaurant, located in the East Village in New York City, let me go through hundreds of eggs to find two dozen the same size and shape. The challenge was figuring out how to cut both in exactly the same place so they would precisely fit together. This was accomplished by submerging one of the eggs in plaster at the angle and depth needed for the cut, after the plaster hardened placing the others in the plaster mold allowed to be drawn a pencil line along the edge where egg and plaster meet making a cut line exactly the same on all. Apparently, in both love and art there are simultaneous challenges of fit, finish and compatibility.
