Three broken teacups meticulously sewn back together with sheer fabric and colored embroidery thread. They are accompanied by three handmade books that correspond to each teacup. Each book documents the teacup fragments, prior to mending, with digitally scanned color prints of the pieces on each page. White gloves are displayed below on chains and alligator clips, inviting viewers to dress their hands, flip though the pages and handle the teacups.
