Fiber art with Tea bags!!!
This exquisite installation by Mari Omori is a tribute to the artform of tea.
She collects used teabags
to construct sculptural forms and large-scale installations.
"Drinking tea is a centuries-old daily ritual that plays many roles in daily life:
to start a day, to greet guests, and in my culture its purpose is also to
cleanse one’s soul and body. Tea has been given as a gift to celebrate and
bestow a healthy long life. My interest surrounding tea is the time-shared,
mutual respect between host and guest, and memories of the moment
as an event. I am interested in how these moments are prepared;
how each person comes together to connect with one another."
These are all details from her work Sound of Time.
