Water is the base element used to brew tea. Once poured, the tea water flows from the tea pot into the cup, creating swirls and reflections, which change in color depending on the tea water’s movement and surrounding light. This piece is an observation of the tea water’s surface movement and light, within the cup of Black Tea, Poured. The viewer is invited to move from side to side, and up and down, to experience the colors changing on the tea water’s surface.

This newly invented process / style of 2D Interactive Sculptural Mixed Media artwork represents chunks of water, which have seemingly been scooped out of the Ocean and splashed onto the walls in a controlled but fluid form. Representing the surface of bodies of water, the bold COLORS CHANGE with the movement of the viewer’s body, inviting the viewer to “swim” around the works, as if being immersed in water and to be more consciously aware how one’s body interacts with and feels, on a cellular level, when being in any form of water and by the artwork itself.
