This series is simply a portrait of a person with an item that is special to them. -Daryl Gordon
This is a memento of an eggstraordinary year.
2005 was one in which I lost and gained everything.
I brought the kids down to Balnarring Beach for Easter weekend and it was pure joy. There was a koala in our gum tree, watching us unpack the car before we ran out onto the beach to fossick for treasure and dress up in strands of kelp.
I’d blown some hen eggs which we decorated. This was mine, a sketch of the beach. We enjoyed this place so much we didn’t want to leave.
The sound of the kids singing as they filed through the foreshore in the last rays of light is a treasured memory. A couple of weeks later, we came for the weekend and ended up playing hookey from school.
By the end of the year, we were fully living here in this beautiful place.
