Teapots

I love my collection of antique teapots so I decided to start painting them.

I am often asked ‘what’s with the teapots…

Teapot: A container for something that steadies you & alternative to other beverages. As a ritual providing repetition, warmth, pause - tea becomes an alternative to dissociation.
So the teapot becomes:

A sacred object
A guardian of ritual
A symbol of resilience

Your obsession seems like a convergence of:

Aesthetic magnetism
Psychic necessity
Emotional memory
