Growing nails

This work is from 2007. Apologies, the images aren't great.

I showed this piece at the 'Wrecking Ball' group show in Dalston. The idea was to make a trio of pieces about time and the body - above images of a piece where the viewer can turn the images to make the nail grow, another was made but not documented - a box with a crank the viewer turns to make a hair grow out of the box (the hair was coated in black silicone gel, so the whole thing felt fairly unpleasant), the final was to be a set of teeth the viewer could grind by turning a handle, although I never made this last one.
