Egg Girl on a Bike

Description

When I was a kid at school we would have to take our lunch box to school as there was no kitchen or cooking facilities, when the dinner bell would ring 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’ll begin to start looking like a fried egg’. I used to plead with my sister to have something different but we had a lot of chickens and a lot of eggs so it was always fried egg on rice, it was easy for her…One day I was frying an egg and thought that would make a great face… How the Egg Ladies came about, I was actually working on a big 150 X 200 Cms painting in my Goddess series, I had the idea and I knew what I wanted to paint but I was struggling, really struggling in fact I was going to paint over and start again on a new idea but instead decided to take a break and paint something completely different. I don’t know why but I thought back to that fried egg and started painting, hence the Egg Collection.
