Artist Statement:
The polite tools of beauty, showing their teeth.
Bras lift, orthodontics straighten. Two devises designed to improve appearance through restraint. Bite Me brings these polite systems of control together and lets them misbehave.
Using discarded orthodontic materials, Bite Me imagines a creature that has had enough of being corrected. Polite on the outside, predatory underneath. Invizzy Lizzy is BUSTING out and an absolute cutie when you get to know her. She erupts from the bra built of orthodontic elastic modules, suggesting that correction has it’s limits.
Perfection can only be held in place for so long…..eventually, it grows teeth
