Barefoot

Materials: Gold, ebony, resin, pigment, hair

 

Gold, resin, pigment, hair, smoky quartz

artist statement:

The Victorians kept lockets of hair and miniature portraits painted with ground hair and pigment to secure the memory of a lost love. In much the same way, I secure my memories through photographic images rendered in lines of my own hair, the physical remnants. I do not reproduce events, but quiet minutes, the mundane, the domestic, the ordinary moments.
