Servitude (With Smiles)

Servitude with Smiles: (found object, teeth, chain, motor)

This work is a whimsical view of the forms of servitude. The “butler” who is chained to a wall, reveals a tray of teeth (the smile) to the viewer. The irony is the servant forced to smile before the master. The smile becomes more of a grin and bear it, until the revolution comes.
