New Delhi to Cleveland - Tea Bags Measure Time

A three month residency to Cleveland in the summer of 2013, created an opportunity for me to collect hundreds of tea bags from new friends, artists, host organizations, local businesses and various others. In particular my host Mellissa, an artist, would slip her used tea bags with a story under my door everyday. These works were a measure of the time and interactions during the residency.
