Statement
Analogue collage depicting the legend of the discovery of tea in Japan... The legend relates to a penitent who pledged to meditate for seven years and consequently not to sleep for seven years. On the first night he fell asleep and his anger was such that he took a knife and chopped off his eyelids. When the eyelids touched he soil they developed roots and grew in to huge bushes. The penitent used the leaves to prepare himself a drink and hence the legend concludes, tea was born.
Pamela Walker is a multimedia artist from Northern Ireland. She uses an eclectic mixture of materials and techniques to create artworks in a variety of media. All are unique and visually compelling.
