"The Keepers."

Interpreting dreams has been a common fascination for ages.  People want to know what their dreams could possibly mean or foretell.  In order to properly interpret dreams there needed to be some sort of a guide or key.  Thus bringing symbols into play.  One symbol in particular has always held my attention and that is the symbolism revolving around teeth.  Teeth falling out, missing teeth, piles of teeth, raining teeth, you name it, I've probably dreamt it.  At first I was positive that it meant that I was going to lose my teeth in the near future. Later I learned that the presence of teeth was s symbol for the loss of control in life usually accompanied by an overwhelming amount of suppressed emotions.

These pieces were developed in a Metals I and II class at my University.  They involved bronze manipulation, casting, molding, along with several other metal working techniques, all of which I utilised in the pieces that you see here.
