2006 was the tenth year it showed off the beautiful work of both Australian and overseas artists in spectacular Australian Coastal locations. exhibition, which took place last November, Australian artist Jeremy Parnell created the sunny side up egg sculpture--called Big Chock--out of fiberglass and glossy, waterproof paint. The word "chock" is slang in Australia for "chicken" Parnell got his inspiration from watching people "frying" themselves on the beach to get a suntan. Although Parnell's idea for his sculpture may make you laugh, Sun tanning describes a darkening of the skin (especially of fair-skinned individuals) in a natural physiological response stimulated by exposure to ultraviolet radiation from sunshine (or a sunbed). With excess exposure to the sun, a suntanned area can also develop sunburn. is really no joke. Exposure to the sun's ultraviolet.
