Description Of Walking on Egg Shells

In Sandy Skoglun’s, Walking on Egg Shells, the image takes place in a large bathroom setting, characterized by muted, somewhat skin tone colors. The color matches the two unclothed figures, which the viewer sees from the back, both obviously females and in a stepping position. Although easily identified as a bathroom, there is nothing typically about the location. The floor is made out of hundreds of brown eggshells. Footprints from the two figures can be seen in the form of broken eggshells creating a path. The toilet, sink and bathtub are spaced far apart from one another. Rather than the typically smooth surface of bathroom decor, these objects are covered in a rough, bumpy texture. The walls are covered in numerous, detailed, square, black images. Nine dark snakes are spread among the floor with a few pairs interacting. In most cases, where there are not two snakes interacting, a rabbit is placed.
