Egg Circus Act

MIXED MEDIA: METAL, WOOD, GESSO,
GLUE, PAPER MÂCHÉ, PAINT
The chicken definitely came before the egg in this whimsical found-object sculpture by Michelle Connolly. Designed for a cork top stopper,
her chicken is poised with pointer in hand. Inserted into an egg-shaped wooden base, Connolly gessoed a paper mâché finish before painting.
With a little help from fellow Acme Art Studio artist Dumay Gorham III, who welded the sphere to its base, Connolly assembled her trapeze
egg from materials she collected.
