Conversational coffee
Screen Print
3 x (55 x 45 cm) (All Framed)

These three prints are about the conversational aspects of coffee and water.

The first displays the anticipation of making the cup of coffee, the conversation about the blend, the mug, the time of
brewing, the conversation about how we have our coffee. Without water, we wouldn’t have coffee to drink.
The second describes the act of pouring water through coffee, as we do, a sweet aroma arises. The water coming down
has conversation about safe water and sanitation (Swahili). Do we think twice about people who haven’t got fresh water?
The third is conversation over coffee. I wanted to highlight which areas of Africa our coffee comes from and if these
people producing coffee have water to drink. Does our conversation over coffee stretch further than our own agenda?
