For the past month, Stephen Turner has been living in a wooden egg on the Beaulieu River in England. The artist, who’s accustomed to extended stays in extreme locales, is planning to stay there for another 11 months while he researches the changing patterns of the estuary’s marine ecology and and turns those findings into artworks inspired by his surroundings.
Turner’s residence on Exbury Egg is actually part of a bigger project that is exploring sustainability and building around delicate ecosystems like the Beaulieu River. The goal of the multidisciplinary project between Turner, PAD Studio and the SPUD group, was to craft a low-tech, off-grid sustainable structure to act as an artist’s residency.
But why an egg?
