hairyness is godliness


Here are some websites i found where people have uses hair to craft things, embroidered, woven etc.

Lindsey Adelman
LOVE her work, need to spend more time looking through her blog... more performance is involved and her work moves away from craft a little. Her drawings are cool, they look like the patterns you find on 60's formica bench tops. I wonder how different curly hair is to straight hair when you try drawing with it???

Jennifer Perry
I love her 'container' works, the clean lines with stray hairs shooting off in all directions are beautiful. I don't like her embroidered versions of Goya's 'Los desastres de la Guerra' so much, they just aren't as interesting! They are too much like the hair works of the presidents i mentioned below, focused on looking perfect and not really letting the hair do its own thing and look like hair. HAIR
