Tantric Egg Salad
Tied using knots most commonly used with horses and livestock, a beeswax dipped bag of tulip bulbs hangs from a wood sawhorse coated and altered with a mixture of paper pulp and cement pigment. Beneath the structure lies a formed aluminum trough filled with beeswax and seemingly floating are beeswax casts of shells and peach pits. Franco 'Bifo' Berardi’s Tantric Egg describes an embodied potentiality, one that might well be replaced by the tulip bulb. The huddle of tulip bulbs, historically important enough for currencies and vast economic markets to be tied to them, rely on the hold of knots designed to release a horse with a little tug.
