this is a direct result of how sometimes i feel like the "odd man out." though, i do
believe anyone can probably relate to the underlying feeling of this painting, for
me it is about being a lesbian in a hetero, christian influenced society. i use
eggs because from one perspective, that is how we all start. we all start the
same. and though each egg gets to grow and become unique and different
from all the other eggs, they still have similar characteristics and things that
unite them. but my little dyke egg is just the opposite of everything the others
stand for. it doesn't fit in. i don't fit in. it is different. i am different. i think it is
human nature to want acceptance and understanding, but unfortunately for
those who are viewed as "different," those things are hard to come by. and
though i often take pride that i am different, it can be a lonely place at times
