Back view of the "night time" side of the California Dream teapot constructed from pre-printed steel from recycled tin containers, 10k gold, sterling silver and aluminum rivets, brass and stainless steel screws, Pentium chip.

Look at the next image to view the 3 dimensional film strip on the side.

California Dream is a larger-than-life teapot made from recycled tin cans cut, pierced, pinked, and riveted with layers of images and symbolism. The “Golden State’s” reputation of abundance started with the gold rush, and then drew waves of settlers with stories of fertile valleys of vegetables and fruit. Hollywood and Silicon Valley continue to inspire the world – California is where the future can be envisioned or re-invented every day. The modern legends of California are rooted in reality but stretched to heroic proportions.
