Hair, string, rice bags. 30″x 22″. Collection of the artist.

I finally assembled these last woven fragments that have been in the studio for a long time.

I first used hair in my work in the mid to late 70s. For years, I saved hair from the haircuts I did, and used it in different ways. Galleries were reluctant to show hair work till somewhat later.
