BY JOANNA BRINTON

As part of the Utopia series at King’s College London, Joanna Brinton worked with dental student Anisha Gupta, initiating discussions and running workshops around issues relating to cosmetic dentistry, aesthetic medicine and self-image.

For MOUTHY, she took this conversation further, running workshops for participants to handle dentistry tools, take impressions of them and consider their associations in a fun and safe space. Re-examining these curious, sometimes fear-invoking objects in the context of modern medicine and the future of the mouth. These workshops allowed people to experiment with marbling swirls of colour, transforming the appearance of the dentistry tools and exploring appearance, attraction and fear. Artworks will be displayed on the Science Gallery London hoardings on Great Maze Pond until early 2017.
