Today: a brief moment of disappointment when I realised that the Great Big Easter Egg hunt had finished just one day into the school hoildays and a whole week before Easter itself (great planning Faberge, thanks!). This was followed, I admit, to being rather grateful that the more than 200 three feet high eggs, which have been decorated by leading figures in the art and design world, had been gathered from their hiding places to be displayed together in Covent Garden. Means more eggs seen for less little leg fatigue! And they were simply marvellous! I mean Hockey's Bigger Picture at the RA last night was amazing, but these were just a little bit more 'community' somehow. I loved the fact that the kids dashed from here to there going 'Look, look at this one!' ticking them all off in their little books. And nice humour present in the egg decoration as well as inspiring art. Lots of nice takes on new life ("Birds don't have a placenta, so it's eggs through which this world they enter!") and hope and growth and renewal and, oh, lots of other lovely Easter related imagery. It's hard to pin point, but I think this is my favourite. Called Fragile. Selling for a few thousand quid at an auction near you!
