Fried Egg

Driven by my love of eggs taken direct from our chickens, and my long gone habit of frying them in the morning I thought it was worth celebrating in steel and paint. My interest lies in the inner white around the Yolk which is the sign of a truly fresh egg; and the fact that every time you crack an egg its shape in the frying pan is subtly different from all others. The egg I made looks like the side-view of a chicken’s head!
There was also a rumour that a warm fried egg was found by someone in a field in Wiltshire; it was one of those little mysteries that was never verified or even solved but took root in the imaginations and eventual mythology of the few people who were aware of the story.
Perhaps it happened at Easter time and like crop circles many believed it to be a hoax.
