Is there a burn?

Artist

Shannon Sandwell

Description

Is there a burn? It's a moment when out-of-context feels bizarre and absurd, but there's an intimate trust required when looking into someone's mouth. Someone who has burnt their tongue on food and is asking a trusted partner to investigate. To be welcomed into such a personal private space from a place of care, but when taken out of context, the viewer feels uncomfortable, knowing this moment is not for them.
