A series of exploratory works, in response to objects in Colchester and Ipswich Museums Archaeology collection. In particular to a Roman strainer bowl, of which similar types containing Artemesia traces had been found. A potential plant was focused on 'Basines commenticia.' the site of the strainer bowl find was explored by divining, locating hidden features, and tea drunk at the location, and responses were made in a variety of media.
