Untitled 105 (A Royal Tea Party)

This whimsical tableau stitches together the rituals of respite and reverie: a wrought bench cradled in the crook of a tree, while teacup blossoms and a peacock’s jeweled tail turn the garden into a theatre of cultivated longing. The composition leans into intentional imbalance—heavy roots and ironwork anchoring the lower register as translucent washes and dripping reds lift the eye upward, like memories bleeding into the present. By merging botanical growth with domestic symbols, the work suggests how we “furnish” nature with our desires, transforming a simple pause beneath a canopy into an intimate, almost mythic meditation on comfort, ornament, and escape.
