Toothpaste Intimacy
I wanted to do something with these, i have a fair few and i just cant bring myself to throw them away. Each time i bring home a new one the old one stays in the pot unused until i have a few sitting there doing nothing. They then get moved to a small bag i have under the sink where they stay. I've always hoarded things like this but theres something about toothbrushes that i just cant part with.
I put this thing in my mouth at least twice a day every day its the first and last thing that i have contact with and theres something intimate about a toothbrush. I'm the same with shoes, but in a different way, i wont throw those away because i think i may have some use for them at some point.
I feel like my toothbrushes deserve something, so i decided to write about them and take a photo. They've become their own little collection in their own right and i wanted to give them their significance, their own significant in time and space.
So i present a Polaroid of them, unique, irreproducible and complete in its own time and space.
