Tea-pi
I had a teepee builded in my studio and re-used my paintings as the skin. Inside the structure is very cosy. It is lined with cowhide and pillows. I invited special guests (friends, neighbors, curators and artists) to come by and hang out, play some songs and have some creative conversation. Guests will be served High Tea accompany by fresh baked biscuits, short bread with assortments of teas to choose from. This session will be recorded and be broadcast as podcast and are available to the public. Tea-pi is an incubator for creative thinking and dialog or just having simple fun in an unusual architectural structure.
