Since 1992 I have been making tongues out of soil. Some of these evolved into chairs, where earth can embrace the whole body. The tongue is a provocative image because it is a part of our selves where our physical and mental functions come together–a place where taste, sex and speech meet–where the dualism of mind and body clearly breaks down.
