How my Egg collection came about: when I was a kid at school, we had to take our lunch boxes because there was no kitchen or cooking facilities. When the dinner bell would ring, we would all sit on the floor to eat our lunch.

Almost every day, I had a fried egg on rice (we had lots of chickens), the other kids would say, ‘Ta, fried egg again, you'll begin to look like a fried egg’.

One day, I was frying an egg and thought that would make a great face…Now my Eggs are hanging on walls all over the world.
