HAIR PIECE is composed of cut hair from various hair salons, the sweepings off the
floor. Hair has such fetish value in our society but does account for a certain amount of self-expression and self-definition. Once free, loose hair tends to take on elements of disgust. I wanted to use these factors to show how societal matrixing maintains order at the sacrifice of the individual’s full creative being. Hinted at are the waxing and preening demanded for social acceptability. But through it all resonates a repressed sexuality and energy that is harnessed and held in and at what cost.
