Biography:
Trisha Coates’ work celebrates ephemeral moments inspired by everyday activities that to some may seem mundane. She also considers the meditative and reflective qualities that are a part of the Chinese tea ceremony and the naturalistic details found in traditional Yixing ware. Her teapots are an attempt to suggest that the seemingly mundane activity of cutting vegetables can become an act of contemplation and transcendence.
