The Tea Shack, a combination tea house based on the structure Sen no Rikyu built in the 16th Century and the Shotgun Shack, a structure popular in the South from the end of the Civil War through the 1920's. This Tea Shack is an abstracted version of Yamaguchi's living quarters and recreated to become a space for performance and conversation.

The Tea Shack has given me an opportunity to explore how architecture assists in the development of myths, sacred space and notions of insiders and outsiders. It is my desire to create a permanent Tea Shack in 2010.

The images are taken by Sarah Pooley and a documentary about the construction, deconstruction and performances is underway.
