Egg Tempera and coffee on reclaimed timber
33cmx41cm

The social coffee experience is quite obvious. Then, I noticed some costumers sitting alone. Most were engaged in various
activities, reading, texting, etc some simply sat in thought. The stillness and sometimes sadness of these people interested
me. I found my sketches rather poignant. I wanted to create a moody piece from them.
Medium is very personal to me. I use reclaimed natural wood and like to paint with earth pigment making egg tempera
from yolk.It seemed right to make a coffee pigment for this project with natural fair trade coffee.
