The title of this show was selected for it's everyday, business as usual inflection.
The term 'tealeaf' is also cockney rhyming slang for a thief. The romanticised tone of the slang may conjure a gypsy, traveller, poacher or rogue. This romanticism, born of the Victorian era, may also be deemed to allude to the hallucinogenic period of self-indulgent introspection in Victorian England within the bohemian world of the artist, writer, actor and dandy.
Like human magpies, artists collect, hoard and covet artefacts, icons and imagery which catalogue the vision of their minds eye which they offer to the audience as document of their introspection.'Tealeaf' reflects the process depited inside the exhibition.
