One's Special Tea Book Wei Jane Chir

Artist Wei Jane Chir has presented in a left-to-right long scroll, a slow, river-like narrative, and one that imparts a feeling of timelessness. This is carried through in the use of materials, where both new and ancient are combined, transcending a particular time and place. "One"s Special Tea" is drawn from a phrase in the classical Chinese novel The Story of the Stone, where in the 41st chapter Baoyu discovers Miaoyu has invited the sisters of thea¤§e§?a??e?? to tea, and says: "You"re drinking your own special tea!" Using modern language it"s just "special tea", referring to one"s own best tea that one brings out when good friends visit. When friends gather to taste and discuss tea, the host will take out her finest to enjoy with companions: in the studio at home, in a flower garden, at a wayside pavilion, by a cliff, on the water"s edge, or in a recluse thatched hut in the mountains.
