A dentist's dozen 

Scan series of printed pastry

Pastry, jelly & fur hat* 2016

​

I’m conscious of the finite materials I use; repelled by the idea of an indelible object, for nothing should last forever and for me, art is an ephemeral experience. 

I used jelly, play-dough and pastry for print; the thick liquids and crusty textures invoke cloying sensations; attractive/repulsive. 

I’m interested in how image and sound can trigger uncanny, visceral and infantile feelings of hunger, seduction, revulsion and anxiety. 

A dentist friend allowed me to have a bag's worth of teeth moulds  on the condition I scratched out the names. I printed into play-dough and pastry for baking; for a series of edible pieces that display the open bite of a stranger. 

I found myself struggling financially, especially with the high price of food and rent in Brighton; the teeth biscuits allowed me to combine my food and art budget; it becomes a bidirectional process of creation and consumption.

*The sheep fur hat was a gift bought second-hand.
