My recent work came about while absent mindedly putting teabags to one side, ready to bin or compost them.  When trying to work something out, I make tea.

Realising it was such a huge part of my working life, I wanted to incorporate it into my work.

The first attempts were simply glueing them together and painting on them, but ideas are developing, the more I work.

I had already experimented with making pages of a book, but I wanted to take it further – making the covers and bindings completely out of the tea bag material.
