Tea Time Print Series

Artist Statement
 In this monotype series I explore the contradiction of tea being a genteel tradition for elegant ladies versus being a forbidden, unhealthy substance.  Raised as a non-tea drinker, my newly acquired habit of drinking an herbal tea borders on scandalous behavior that may imperil my immortal soul.  By layering direct, indirect, and ghost prints I create not so still lifes of tea pots and tea cups enjoying a sip of tea together.  My influence for the series is print artist Jenny Waelti-Walters.

  1. I love these, Judith. These look like they are on paper - have you tried this on cloth? I'd love to see how that would turn out.

  2. These are wonderful. I love your description of the pieces as "forbidden fruit".
