Shropshire artist's eggs-cellent art has important message
He is more used to creating large sculptures including the nationally known Knife Angel.
Alfie Bradley's latest work of art may be much smaller, but it is no less powerful.
The egg made from scrap metal with a chain around it is made in the style of Faberge. But instead of opening to reveal an opulent interior, Alfie's egg opens to reveal a homeless man carrying a sign saying, I need money.
Looking more closely at the tiny figure only about four inches tall, it is of the artist himself, surrounding by his megre possessions and two empty wine bottles.
He said he had the idea of doing the Faberge style eggs for some time and said the first piece would be one of a collection.
"In the first egg I wanted to show the division of rich and poor in today's world. The Faberge egg represents luxury while inside is the reality of today for too many people."
