About the Artwork:
“Teeth are the most visible bones in our bodies. We use them on a daily basis for eating. And we see them on others while interacting. And yet, despite this all, they are viewed as dark and creepy when on their own.
This skull has no teeth of its own left, they have rotted away, or maybe have been removed. Decay of the bone has taken over. But it is crowned in teeth, crowned in itself, or maybe crowned in the gifts from others. Wearing a crown represents receiving the highest honors, and wearing a crown of teeth is no different, just a bit darker.” – Mallory Hart
