booooob cakes.



These egg shells are held together by lace garters that were carefully cut apart and sewn back together. Fake pearls serve as a cherry or a nipple, with pink puffy paint on top. The eight eggs sit on a silver platter I found at the thrift store. The pink holders are made from styrofoam egg cartons.

The eggs placed in a group of four pairs is meant to mimic the breasts of a pig. In most of my work, including this piece, eggs represent women. The "women" are decorated in lace and pearls and look almost edible.
