Abstract

This story considers the lost potential held within museum collections of eggs and animals both in their own right and as a metaphor for human fertility. Eggs and fertility are paired as ecofeminist symbols that align feminist and environmental concerns. It also considers generational legacy for settler cultures who trace their presence in Australia back to colonial practices, and navigates reconciliation of this history with their contemporary descendants.
