teapot


Based on my findings down Brick Lane, I wanted to draw together the observations that some things are not used for what the intended purpose, ie The rug was a bed; the cinema became a cafe etc. and my conclusion that the most genuine drink in Brick Lane was a cup of tea ( The coke came from Poland, the Kingfisher lager from Faversham etc. ) I wanted to work with a material and build something genuine. I wanted to make a teapot out of tea, then there would be no argument to what it was. After a few experiments I had to use teabags. A week later and its nearly dry and I can soon put the two halves together. But for the record here is the Tea pot. Had time allowed I would have liked to make a cup from coffee beans, a bowl of rice etc.

Bigger things beckon.
