Tigre au Café'
by Alyssa Hennigar
I also experimented with tea and coffee staining my drawings in 2019. I found a method in which I like to stain the overall piece with black tea before rubbing coffee grounds into the damp paper to add various textures and values. Tigre au Café is part of a small collection of coffee-stained artworks I made in April 2021 and is the remaining available work. Tigre au Café is French for Tiger in the Café. Since this piece is made using coffee, I wanted the scene to picture the tiger living in a French coffee house and he himself is made of coffee. This piece also features collaged poems from a vintage poetry book where I tore out parts of phrases that resonated with me.
