Tea Time

Tea Time places Skully Jones inside one of Denver's most refined rituals—afternoon tea at the Brown Palace Hotel. Crystal chandeliers glow overhead as skeletons and living guests share the same space, blurring the line between tradition and disruption.

This piece isn't about parody. It's about contrast. The skeletons don't mock the setting; they belong to it. Stripped of status and performance, they sit comfortably among velvet chairs, china cups, and quiet conversation. What's exposed isn't the absurdity of the figures, but the formality of the ritual itself.

Tea Time asks what remains when etiquette, wealth, and appearance fall away. The answer is simple: presence, conversation, and the human need to gather, no matter the setting.

It's a reminder that even the most polished spaces are still built for connection—and that authenticity doesn't disappear just because the room is dressed up.
