With Easter fast approaching, this was an exercise that needed me to wait until the Easter Bunny had visited our house. Easter Sunday arrives, there really was no other subject to use except Easter eggs! I used a washing basket to hold the ‘fake’ hay, then I simply placed the eggs in one by one.

Findings and conclusion.
This was my third sequence of eggs and I am very pleased with the results. In the first two attempts, I was simply finding myself placing the majority of eggs altogether and having a single egg opposing the group, creating a very similar scenario to the images in the previous exercise, the relationship between points. I wasn’t happy with this, so I carried on until I produced images I was happy with.
I was considering each mo ve carefully and I love the way you can watch the composition appear before your eyes, one egg at a time. I began by placing the first egg, working around that, then very quickly I realised I would just end up with a group, so in IMG6101 you can see I took the next step away from the main group and started to alter the composition quite dramatically.
By IMG6107, the final image, you can see that really there are two defined areas of points, that almost balance each other, but have a connecting point also, which I feel leads the eye across the image. They almost create flower shapes but I am sure they can be looked at and generate different feelings within different viewers.
Happy Easter!
Sorry – just couldn’t resist!
