Egg Sculpture

I made an egg-like form using three strips of poplar that I ripped down on a table saw from dimensional lumber. The strips are laminated together with glue to maintain this form. This form is elemental, seemingly universal in nature. It is like an arc or a curve in this way. It is unlike a right angle at the corner of an imaginary picture plane. This egg shape is slightly asymmetrical and flattens out at the bottom. Its plies separate a little near the apex and a lot near the bottom right curve. They don’t quite overlap where they are closest to the floor. This object shows the history of its assembly both where the wood separates and where it aligns perfectly because the layers are different tones of green. It is simultaneously three separate lines and an amalgamate egg-like form. I hope it speaks to the worn naturalness of wabi aesthetics and the philosophical implications therein. I also hope it is always both an egg shape and three strips of wood made meaningful by their being joined together. This is also philosophical.
