The show was great - loved your mom's eggs and all your pics - love the
whimsy. You guys are so talented. It's an honor to see the world through
your eyes.

Saturday was the opening reception for our new show,
EGGstravaganza. Photographers Mark and Cathy Pemberton have been working for
the past year to put together this unique show. Their photographs of eggs were
just exquisite examples of abstract figure study and balance between light and
shadow. The use of the term light is appropriate especially since several of
the eggs were shown to be levitating. A repeated comment by many of our guests
was “how did you ever come up with so many unique ways to photograph eggs.”

Using a high degree of imagination and a demented sense of humor, Mark and Cathy managed to create on full room's worth of Whimsical egg photographs that provoked laughs from all who went through this room. "Embryo Wars" is not to be missed.

Another highlight of the show was the egg art of Mark’s
mother Shirley. She has created the most stunning works from raw eggs. They run
the gamut from eggs that are simply (but elegantly) carved to elaborate
mechanical marvels that rival the famed Faberge eggs of the 19
th century.
Numerous people took the time to read the short
book about her work and to
watch the
YouTube video of her creations that was shot in the 1990s.

The turnout was good with about 75 people stopping by.
We saw lots of new faces amongst many of our
long-time supporters. We were also delighted that residents of the nearby
Concord House stopped by to enjoy the show and some of the delicious refreshments
with us.
EGGstravaganza will continue showing through April 27. This
is truly one of the most unique shows that we have hosted. Don’t miss it!
