'Finnegan's Teeth' is a visual journey seen through the eyes of the animal Finnegan. Taking place around King's Cross in London, it follows the area as it goes through construction and deconstruction. Photographs of the happenings and events that Finnegan notices on his travels accompany the voices of the street life around him.

These experiences were made in to a book called 'Finnegan's Teeth' by artist Judith Cowan. Judith also used these to develop a public art project. This took Finnegan's experiences and placed them back into the spaces from which they came. Images and text simultaneously appeared in three very different sites in King's Cross - along Goodsway, under the York Way canal bridge and onto the windows of the Fish and Coal Building on the canal-side.
