About
‘Grin and Bear it’ is an exploration and celebration of our resilience through the grit of day to day life. This exhibition aims to re-frame escapism as perseverance, a collective defiance for the vibrancy of raucous nights and intimate moments of peace.
Throughout the exhibition, the stark symbolism of teeth evokes a playful yet disturbing effect. Sets of teeth grin and grimace and sounds of chattering and grinding fill the space. A whole choir of faceless mouths surround you, crying out in discordant harmony and singing words that you can’t quite make out but somehow understand.
There is a buzzing atmosphere of cloying discomfort and joyous absurdity, inducing the impulse to both shiver and laugh. A confusing yet arresting experience that perhaps reflects how it feels to ‘grin and bear it’.
