NRLA09// Michelle Browne [Ireland] THE BEARER

Every crunchy turn of her heel is expertly executed.  She is a soldier locked in combat with the nest she's woven onto her head and she doesn't give a damn about the eggs that pelt the floor.  

 

 

Ever alert, this gift-wrapped bird is in delicious defiance of every one of the 217 eggs that hit the floor.  No contest.  These eggs are weak - she is perfect and she knows it - and she doesn't miss a beat.  Round after round of faultless performance as she cuts across the splatterfield towards the mirror to check in with her self.  Stock up.  Set off.  


As she bounces up the catwalk to fill up on some more egg, the nest looks increasingly messy.  She marches on.  Brittle frames mashed under every practiced turn of the knee, The Bearer means business.
