Caffe Moka

$850.00 (Custom Frame with Museum Glass)

Espresso, anyone? This piece was inspired by the morning coffee ritual I developed while living and traveling in Europe. I have an appreciation for the aroma of freshly ground coffee and the technique of preparing a hot cup by hand. I find the experience centers me and gives me a moment of quiet reflection within a busy day. As I layered the components of this collage, I had fun incorporating food packaging of different varieties. In particular, I included just a few of my favorite things: coffee, chocolate and a splash of red wine.

Materials include but are not limited to:
Lavazza coffee packaging
Vietnamese coffee packaging
Decorative papers
Plastic from a Thai jasmine rice bag
Italian pastry bag
Make-up packaging from Italy
Packaging from UK chocolate
Aluminum from a red wine cork wrapping
