Portrait Created with Teabags by Red Hong Yi

[chandoo]

The Malaysian architect Red Hong Yi has created a massive portrait of a man making tea without using pencil or paint brush. She used 20,000 teabags and spent two months to build the 10-foot by 7-foot piece, which ended up weighing more than 440 pounds. Hong Yi stained the teabags for the installation in 10 different shades of brown, a variation she achieved by steeping them in an assortment of water temperatures for different amounts of time. She added brown food dye for the darkest tones.
