Cosmic Eggs

©marcel de buck, wool, cotton, viscose, metallic, shades, colours

The ‘cosmic egg’  is a canvas in miniature representing a series of dark shades made with a repeating sequence of 9 yarns.

A cosmic egg is an elemental natural shape, a bundle of yarns that symbolises the elements and planets. It pertains to the Dharma world and the understanding of the fundamental wellbeing of nature.

9 variously coloured fibers are wound in 9 yarns to form represent indefinite series of coloured dark shades.

Warmer and colder colours suggest shades of the elements: terra, aqua, aer and ignis*.

For Dutch Design Week 2016, DAE and the Van Abbemuseum join forces for an exhibition: Broken White.
