Materials
wax thread, tea bags, cloth, bird nest, saucer, spoon

Description
Tea bags, emptied of their contents, are embroidered with songbirds and colored. The bags are then filled, closed up with a long filament, which extends to a nest, centered on a teacup. The systematic preparation of the installation, done over a course of days, takes place under conditions of solitude.
