Rich Tea Biscuit
2006
Bitten and signed rich tea biscuit,
65 x 65 x 5mm
unlimited edition
Having previously made work with tea stains on watercolour paper, Turk produced an edition of signed Rich Tea biscuits in 2006 the original biscuit having been both signed and bitten by the artist. He views tea (and biscuits) as essential to the clichéd cultural history of Britain as a tea-drinking nation, as much a part of the landscape as Constable, Henry Moore and William Morris a kind of ‘Rusk’inian romanticism. Importantly, the biscuits have a bite out of them. “The bite disrupted the circularity of the biscuit, it was almost like the loss of innocence, the bite of the Apple”
