“The longer you look at an object, the more abstract it becomes, and, ironically, the more real.” Lucian Freud.

How the Egg collection came about, when I was a kid at school we would have to take our lunch box as there were no kitchen or cooking facilities when the dinner bell rang we would all sit on the floor to eat our lunch.

Almost every day I had a fried egg on rice, the other kids would say, ‘Ta fried egg again, you will begin to start looking like a fried egg’.

I used to plead with my sister to have something different but we had many chickens and many eggs so it was always fried egg on rice.
