TITLE: All My "Alien" Eggs in One Basket MEDIUM: Mixed Media This was a bizarre sculpture that I put together for a digital media project for the purpose of putting it up on eBay in hopes that it might either sell or provoke interest in discussion about the subject being sold. I tried to make something very unique and I had an idea for a sculpture project from an earlier semester to have the base of the sculpture be a small basket with countless eggs piled and piled ontop of each other raised as high as it could be, playing on the phrase "having all of your eggs in one basket". After starting the project I realized that it just wasn't strange enough to spark interest from eBay bidders who were looking to purchase really bizarre items from the auctions. So, I painted each of the eggs green, gave them eyes (my girlfriend Yoriko drew the mouths) and positioned them in interesting human based activities such as conducting a string quartet or having a softball picnic/cookout and of course a precious shot of one freaking out as it is being cuddled by my pet cat Sakura. I then constructed the sculpture, gave all of the eggs names and put it up on eBay for sale in their "Totally Bizarre" category as well as their "Sculpture" category. However to no avail, these little guys didn't sell and I still have the sculpture sitting on a shelf.
