I have always been intrigued by the idea of human presence and human activity and why we behave in a certain way. Observing the idea of the everyday and human behaviour has always been an odd interest of mine. From this I began to look into the idea of human presence; I decided to use the idea of people going for a tea or coffee as a metaphor for human behaviour and the every day. Having experience working with the general public has inspired me as an artist and influenced my practice greatly. Working in a café restaurant, you start to question the idea of human behaviour and why do we do certain things. What makes us do things and why do we do it? Only humans perform the activity of ‘Going for a Coffee or Tea’ and somewhat thrive off doing so. I have always wondered at times when I’m standing in a queue waiting or serving people at work, why is ‘Going for a coffee’ or ‘Going for a tea’ so important? And why as humans is it such a common occurrence in everyone’s daily routine? As human beings use this method of drinking tea or coffee as an aid to relax and we tend to use tea/coffee to 'fix' things in our lives. I have begun to delve into the concept of what happens during this crucial ‘tea/coffee break’ of us human beings. How does going for a coffee or tea make our day easier? And also what common things would you see, hear or do if you observed different people or even yourself whilst people are having a tea or coffee break? Why is it that this tea or coffee break has become such a routine that it has almost become a ritual?
