Teapots

Here the teapot is raised to a symbol: an everyday object transmuted into pictorial territory where burlap, cardboard and mixed media engage with the still-life tradition to reinvent it from a contemporary standpoint. Each teapot is at once portrait and landscape, container and content, the domestic elevated to the monumental.

On rough surfaces of sackcloth and fibreboard, the forms are built with the same material honesty that defines the objects they depict: without pretension, without artifice, with the quiet beauty of the useful turned into contemplation. The series Té-la de saco is a tribute to the pause, to the ritual of tea as an excuse to stop and look.
