EGGLIPSE - Egg shells as a skin ²⁰¹⁸

These fragments of eggshells are arranged by colour, from clear white to dark brown. Most of the eggs come from ordinary chickens. Cotto got them from everywhere, from both organic farms and the supermarket. Colour was her only criterion. If you look at the entire collection, there is a striking similarity with the many shades of human skin. Next to each dish is a wooden egg shape, painted with watercolours of the same hue – for Cotto, a way to comprehend the subtlety of colour differences.
