Tea bag curtains

While looking into the use of tea bags in art I came across an article documenting the work of Este Lewis, a 25-year-old Brooklyn artist who has made a curtain from tea bags. I thought this idea linked well with my work, as while creating my tea bag diary they are hung up on my curtain rail, and are acting as a very small curtain as I am yet to actually get curtains here. Este Lewis creates digitally printed wallpapers, which show the pattern of everyday items, such as napkins, candy sticks, sticks of gum etc. She has used tea bags in designs before, she says she loves “how the particles inside make up the different landscapes in each bag depending on where they fall, and I like how the light passes through them.” I had never thought of this before but they are very interesting objects to look at, although their shape is always the same there is alway something unique about each bag of tea, which I like.
