Hair Sculpture

My felted sculptures play with the cultural taboo of hair and fur in unexpected places. They explore overt and implied sexual innuendo concerning the feminine and feline signifiers of body hair and fur while referencing images from fashion and art history. I paired an image of my grandmother modeling a fur muff with my own triangle of hair. Ghost Ship was inspired by a famous Rococo hairstyle. Luncheon in Hair is an appropriation of Meret Oppenheim's Luncheon in Fur.
