Egg Shaped Platform 00

 

This is original concept drawing of a series of pieces I dubbed "Egg Shaped Platform". The foundation being that the key aspect of the piece has the contour of an egg.  I created this sketch during my sophomore year of college, during a brainstorming session, before winter break, good times!
