Tea in the garden with sweets is an interactive still life sculpture created for the 132nd streetCommunity Garden garden in Harlem, in occasion of the exhibition Koha-gift.
‘Inspired by Children's Tea Party sets and fond memories from childhood, the artist plays on the theme ‘still life’ creating an immobile “Tea in the Garden with Sweets'' sculpture from steel and hand-forged metal that includes a tea table, a vase of roses, small tea plates, a teapot, and sweets. The viewers are invited to play with the sculpture, move the objects, have endless imaginary cups of tea, and take part in the magic moment of make-belief.’ (From the press release)
