Coffee Culture

Coffee Culture is an ongoing body of work that experiments with the cast-off materials of coffee and tea making—used tea bags, coffee filters, and discarded coffee packaging—to explore themes of home, ritual, comfort, and the alchemy of reuse. Inspired by the traditional domestic arts of patchwork and quilting, many works in the series take the form of quilt-like patchwork panels. While these panels evoke the warmth and comfort of home, closer inspection reveals the reality of the materials' origins, creating a striking contrast between their past and present forms.
