Thestarting point for this work was the theme of parade, which I was toinvestigate. By taking two common elements found in the traditional parade,repetition and uniform, I started to look for things which look the same. Ifinally settled on the 'egg' to work with for several reasons, a few being itsshape, its colour, fragility, and also the way people handle eggs.

Toinvestigate the theme of parade, I also started exploring the idea of ritual.This was done by producing plaster eggs every chance I get, carrying the latexmould and plaster with me everywhere. I was also recording this process into adiary.

EventuallyI exhibited these 650 plaster eggs in a place where I knew that they will beblocking the way of a heavily accessed corridor. The intention was to stop aparade, that of the people who pass from the corridor, with something asfragile as an egg. Video footage was recorded as people found the eggs blockingtheir path, and how eventually they made their own path through them.
