"A series of four dark, crayon-on-silk drawings of fragmented teapots hanging in the gallery office continued the investigation of the twilight zone of objecthood. Each drawing is entitled Emerging, along with the name of a kind of tea (Ceylon, Chamomile, Earl Grey, Yasmin). In each one, the teapot looks as if it were, indeed, ‘emerging’ from the dark ground, obscuring the nature of the object itself and creating a sense of mild indefiniteness. But this effect of the formal aesthetics of crayon on silk was less intriguing than that of the odd materiality of the objects in the front room."
