artist statement for the "studies in phrenology and physiognomy" series

Picture
In this series, I am studying the similarities between a person and their extracted wisdom teeth.  I am proving, in a faux-scientific study, that the physical characteristics of a wisdom tooth define the body that they were extracted from.  This type of science is in the fashion of Phrenological and Physiognomical research.  These were studies that compared traits of a person with their facial features or skull formation.  I am then producing a one-of-a-kind piece for each of the subjects from the study. (See blog for a paper explaining the similarities, differences and meaning to my pieces)
