This work consists in a series of palster balls that are mimicking the shapes of the mouth while speaking and producing sounds. The mouth shapes are inspired from stop-motion animation techniques. They are “speaking” a sentence from the book “The House We Live in, or, The Making of the Body” by Vesta Farnsworth:

“I will speak the words it would say if it could talk.”
Phonetic: [ahy wil speek thuh wurds it wood sey if it kood tawk]
