Your Contribution... |
1999. Installation. 150 sets of fake fossilised teeth, 42 letters, sign, museum display case,
Exhibited at my degree show at Central St. Martins, London -
"Your Contribution to our History Greatly aids us in Our Goals and is Deeply Appreciated"
I created 200 sets of "fossilised teeth" from clay and common beach stones. and sent them to the staff of 50 anthropological, archaeological, local history and dental museums around Britain with a covering letter explaining that I had inherited the collection and wanted to donate the teeth to the museum for others to enjoy.
I received 46 very polite letters. Two sets of teeth underwent extensive scientific testing and eight sets were accepted into the museums collections, including that of the Natural History Museum in London.
