There almost nothing a cup of bush tea can’t fix. These teabags are about 3 x 2.25 inches and 3.5 x 3 inches. They were soaked in dye teas made from Grenada-grown herbs and spices with regular salt as fixative.

These are the dye teas. From left to right: lemongrass and french thyme, nutmeg, moringa, cinnamon, turmeric and black pepper, clove and sorrel, and ginger. In various journals and studies, these teas (without the salt) in combination, and moderation, are supposedly beneficial to much that ails the human body. I have drunk teas from each ingredient, separately and in various mixes, on rainy mornings, late in the night, and in the middle of the day; sometimes hot, but most times, chilled. I sweat enough as it is.

Focussing on my work and my voice. Looking forward to arranging the teabags in my installation Foreigner Within, in the Grenada Pavilion at the Venice Biennale in April.
