Tea Leaves 3. Archival Pigment Print on Paper on Panel. 12″x12″.
For some time I have been recording the dried patterns left in the bottom of my teacups. I began observing a kind of calligraphy, the stems, leaves, and stain of the tea. It feels organic and natural, this shuffling of forms. Seemingly insignificant, there is beauty in the abstract randomness of it.

The Manifestation
Many arrivals make us live: the tree becoming
Green, a bird tipping the topmost bough,
A seed pushing itself beyond itself,
The mole making its way through darkest ground,
The worm, intrepid scholar of the soil—
Do these analogies perplex? A sky with clouds,
The motion of the moon, and waves at play,
A sea-wind pausing in a summer tree.
What does what it should do needs nothing more.
The body moves, though slowly, toward desire.
We come to something without knowing why.
