Concept - the story of tea v2.0

Concept Model idea version 2

An old tea cup + saucer, already with a history of its own and traces of past use (cracks, chips).
Prints of fingers and lips using metallic paint or lipstick (not plaster, did not work well at all) - of those who have used the cup.
Inside the cup will be a layer of tea leaves cast in resin, also perhaps with layers using shellac - set on an angle implying past movement caught in time eg. an aftershock...a layered effect inside the cup to represent the past use of the cup. The shellac worked well.

The base will be fabric, with subtle folds showing an abrupt sideways movement. Cast in resin so it forms a solid base, and a moment of movement frozen in time.

Plan - take a video or time lapsed photos of liquid in the cup being moved abruptly to the side (or up) to demonstrate exactly what this should look like.

Human scale - the tea cup
Contrasts - the delicate nature of the tea cup with evidence of violent movement/disruption
