Artist statement

‘I want to encourage the viewer of this piece to delve into their own memories, perhaps to create a nostalgic vision of an afternoon tea filled with reminiscences. I love the way old handmade doilies that I used for this piece felt like they were drenched with memories — the tea stains somehow represent the discussions and arguments, the laughter and secrets shared over a cup of tea.’
