here is my next huge project underway for adv. 16mm film production. a 7 minute film, conceptually, an examination of the process of replication in the
likeness of. drawing from ancient Egyptian cultural history, and
intersecting with the ancient and modern practices of dentistry, the
film will be part the process of recasting of a statue of Cleopatra
depicting her death, suicide by an Egyptian cobra and part
rephotographing images of tooth decay in pregnant women. the film will
focus around the desire for reproduction, from the original (shell or
skin) to the replica, to preserve immortality.
This video is my archeological detective research of this mold. commentary included.

You know, there's a saying that a woman loses a tooth for every child she bears.
That is really interesting i look forward to it.
I recently read in a catalogue that she was 5"foot tall. However later i read that there is no proof. I also read something else that was incredibly interesting here is a peice: "Reports of Cleopatra's beauty are apparently exaggerated, according to articles published in the British media. On the occasion of her exhibition this month in the British Museum in London, some reports in the media would have us believe that Cleopatra was hook-nosed, dumpy and had bad teeth!"
What do you think about this?
