there will be teeth
what does it mean when we find teeth where they shouldn't be?
teeth are a discrete yet emotional fixation for humanity. as infants teeth cause us great pain. as young children they become a source of excitement and celebration. we age and they become expensive and needy. we rely heavily on them to help nourish our bodies. yet curiosity, old age, and rage can all cause us to lose them entirely.
strength and fragility. these versatile chunks of bone are some of the most ancient and clever record keepers. they can offer us a glimpse millions of years into the past. as we marvel over dinosaurs and study diligently the first man. or into the future. through the eyes of science fiction and fantasy teeth are continually reimagined alongside the creatures they belong to and new wonders are born. even dream interpreters have obsessed for thousands of years over what it means when a person dreams of their teeth falling out.
imagination and reality can never fully be separated. there will be teeth brings childhood wonder, fearful dreams, and scientific curiosity together.
ideas and hypothesis. fact and fiction. aesthetic and discomfort.
opposites.
shh...
first
we
must
feel
the
silence
of
gravity
where below becomes above
and inside is outside
and some thing of dream
and some thing of nightmare
find fang where once was soft
and curiosity becomes emotion
and we lose
ourselves
stolen brief
and true
and released from unreal
reelling for footing
as rule breaks way
and laws lay to ash
euclidean is lost
and everything bends
and a thing finds shift
one to another
still
shaping
still
and a gift is no longer
