original flavour means what exactly?

Coolest hair embroidery ever, very contemporary, digital influence, themes of abjection, reading her artist statement on the saatchi site she covers a lot of the issues i want to explore in my own work. Her embroidery is more like drawing, and the hair still looks like hair trailing of the page with a life of its own. She has a facebook page made of hair, and a second life symbol. She pretty much ticks every box there is to tick in the whatamandalikes category.The Artist. Human Hair and paper, 30X30cm. 2008

Insane textile works, Dita will love them! vagina dentata om nom nom nom scary... her hair embroidery is amazing! inspiring... it has a repulsive feel to it, and of course very feminist themes. Read this post she has written it is so beautiful!!! makes you think, and makes you take a second look at her work and your own, what inspires you, what is real, what matters and what you feel like you are qualified to say... read it and you'll know what i mean :)Threat of Heavy Weather (detail). 20X30X10" Human hair on pillow case, pillow. 2003

Best website design i have seen today, usually craft sites look like word document and have bright red text and are horrific to try and navigate but this one was epic! You can tel she doesn't work with hair specifically as the works she has posted pale in comparison to others i mention... they're still quite nice though. Trivet 1. 4X6" Human Hair on Linen. 2003

hairyness is godliness

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

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???

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
