Tea bags are a product of our everyday life. They are a record of people gathering, having conversations, eating.
Tea bags speak of history, fragility, meditation.
I combine traditional art and craft materials and processes with tea bags and other objects of everyday use. I emphasize the tactile quality of the pieces, as well as the concepts of layering, transparency, and mending. The thread is used both as a means of putting elements together and as a drawing tool. By using sewing, drawing, and printing, I transform the ordinary materials while preserving their importance as objects of everyday rituals.
