Brooch, 2007, gold and my own hair,
70x50x10 mm
In my work I have been exploring the
idea of the aesthetics of repetition.
I used my own hair to make this brooch
that I titled Auto Portrait.
The hair is part of a person, the
person's identity, the person's presence but it can also show on the other hand
a person's absence. In a society in which so much depends upon appearance,
especially for women hair helps to communicate sexuality but it can also be a
means of expression for female individuality. Hair was always a significant and
remarkable attribute of bodily appearance. The association of hair with
sexuality has made hair the symbol of a remarkable force and the distinction
between male and female.
