Jenny Greenteeth
Colour pencil, 593 mm x 840 mm, 2016
The fourth piece in the collection Rumpus, based on Blackgang Chine attractions.
A wondrous being, so legend told
Took lake and river for her home
Whence nature flocked to celebrate
Her awesome beauty, charm and grace
Within her wake lies another fate
For unwary human fools
Who’d take the chance to dip
Into a cooling, calm, clear pool
For lurking ‘twixt bulrush and reed
Fruits grinning, gruesome Jenny Greenteeth
Ready to greet with a cackling laugh
Any who stray within her path
