I make stories based on objects and their descriptive words and associated processes. When thinking about the history of the teapot in relation to computer graphics I became intrigued with the history of the teapot. After learning some of the vocabulary to describe teapots and tea I began to look at the vocabulary used in the field of computer graphics. After reviewing computer graphics glossaries and SIGGRAPH technical and art journals from 1977 through 2005 I eventually compiled a list of 1243 computer / computer graphics terms. My list of teapot / tea and ceramic construction terms came in at 231. This series of images is formed from my visually playing and ordering those 1474 words.
