A Mouth Full (q) explores the tension between language as structure and as body. The sculpture’s form refers to the negative space of the letter “q” while simultaneously resembling an open mouth. Inside are six silver casts of cherry stones sucked clean, pointing to the sensuous and rhythmic dimensions of language. The work connects typography with the labour of the mouth and frames communication as a physical and instinctive act. The sculpture was installed in a former public bathhouse in Kolding, where its bodily reference entered into dialogue with the site’s architecture and history.
