Artist's Statement

The contemporary table is eclectic,

it updates traditions yet maintains beauty and ritual.

My set of cups & saucers relates to the

Fibonacci number series together with mystical teachings.

The vibration of Three is said to be the birthing of true wisdom

& the triangle represents the connection of Spirit, Mind, Body.

The number Five has a vibration that links to the physicality

of humans: five fingers and toes, five tactile senses.

 Five also represents our desire

 to balance our own internal equations.

Drinking tea with friends or family

is about sharing the colours and vibrations of life.
