I was inspired to paint hanging eggs after recently contacting half siblings for the first time in my life. One of my half sisters sent me a holiday card with a photograph of eggs laid by her chickens. I was touched by the delicacy and sameness of these eggs, just as I was touched by the fragility and commonality with my newly met half siblings. I decided to hang and paint these sibling eggs in various situations to see if they could weather new experiences and eventually begin to bond with one another.
