time

Wendy Stefansson. Time. 
Eggshells, soot and stain on birch panel, 2001.

This mosaic was the culmination of a series of works using eggs as a reference to human ova. In it, I tried to represent time as it is experienced by the female body – round, cyclical, layered. Marked each month by the passing of an egg, of an opportunity.
