A woman sits with a birdcage crowning her head — a live bird perched inside it — while beside her an ostrich egg has cracked open to reveal clockwork gears where a yolk should be. This is Ova Sacro Emblemata, from Jamie Baldridge's celebrated series The Every Where Chronicles (2003–2007), later published in a deluxe fine-press edition by 21st Editions that won the 2008 Lucie Award for photography book publisher of the year.
Baldridge — a New Iberia, Louisiana-born photographer and professor at the University of Louisiana at Lafayette — builds his tableaux like a Victorian curiosity cabinet: sepia-toned, densely symbolic, equal parts fairy tale and memento mori. This piece plays with themes of confinement, hatching, and mechanized fate — the kind of image that rewards a long look and a longer conversation.
Hand-signed and dated by the artist in pencil, numbered 8/20. Professionally framed by Picture It Framed (Cambria, CA) with UV-filtering Plexiglas (OP3) to protect the print from fading — a detail worth knowing if you're hanging it somewhere sunlit.
