Mixed-media installations focussing on immortalising the process and hard work that goes into designing and maintaining women’s hair.
Crocheting with yarn is similar to handling hair, due to its thin and delicate nature. The time and dedication it takes to complete intricate crochet projects is the same as designing hair. This is an integral part of my practice, as the time I take to create everything mirrors the long history of women taking care of their hair.
Impressions made in clay by hands doing hair, as well as symbols made by embedding hair in clay.
Shadows are a light and intangible thing, yet in my exhibition they represent the marks left by a lifetime of constant reminders of hair being an incredibly important feature.
