Love Tooth Nest

Minah & Wryly, the founding duo brings their Love teeth, 몸 & 맘 (body & mind/spirit in Korean) to their community participatory piece, Love Tooth Nest. Weaving a mother tongue, a mouthful plant chat, and wisdoms of the land, 몸 & 맘 encourage you to feel your roots in the mouth of Mother Earth. The seed-bomb gifts at the Nest contain papier mâché made of audience members’ unique tooth stories given to the wire-tooth sculpture exhibited during their solo exhibition “Give Birth Love Tooth (2023)” at Nanaimo Art Gallery. Tadafumi co-facilitated the cyanotype session for Pulling Ivy Sewing Seeds and installs the community-artwork composing a blue-print map featuring negative sun-printing images of pulled ivy-vines and native plant-inspired images sewn on them.
