Teeth
This series consists of oil paintings of friends‘ and my own teeth.
Teeth are an important, but almost never fully visible, individual identifying feature, the view into the mouth is an uncomfortably intimate one.
I have sewn labels onto the paintings, some feature my name in logo style, reminiscent of brand logos and bar goods. Both, signed paintings and the motif of dentures, are decidedly unique. As the labels are turned inside out, the reverse of the machine-embroidered labels is visible.
