"Mango I" and "Mango II" are two halves of the same goose egg. I injected aniline dye into the egg and let it sit and ponder its future for several days. Every few hours I would turn the egg over to let the dye seep deeply into another part of the egg. I took they dye out and then cut the eggshell in half and what was revealed was the most luscious looking mango orangey-red. I painted the exterior matte black because I wanted it to be all about the interior color and then sanded the cut edge to make a crisp white border between the black and orange.
