Photos and description from the “tea house” artsparks installation by artist Christopher Ezzell. The installation was located at Occidental Park during the first week of August:

The tea house was an experiment in fabricating a portable tea house, demonstrate the values of the japanese tea ceremony in an urban setting and create the walls with the plastic bottles used in Nord Alley last winter in the installation: “waste not.”

We also used many salvaged materials: a mylar sail for the roof,  cedar and cardboard for the floor. The structure is aluminum poles held together by clamps and the bottles are sewn together with fishing line.

During the week of the installation, we observed people interact the tea house touching the walls with smiles, becoming unexpectedly calm and peaceful while sitting inside and observing the tea demonstration. Visitors and participants all seemed to be surprised and enchanted by this little building.
