Tempo: accrue began by regularly collecting stains from used tea bags on the pages in a blank journal. The tea was consumed by me or my family. The spent tea bags were saved and then recycled into hand-made paper sheets. In the exhibit, many of these sheets, or pages, are in a loose stack above the book. The handmade sheets of paper were then spun into a yarn. This paper spinning technique is referred to as 'shifu' in Japanese. Once wound into a ball, the yarn is exhibited above the stacked sheets. You may notice the end of the yarn is still flat and unspun.
