Using human samples infused with household materials, I seek to cast an uneasiness on the viewer; reflected through the mirror of an art practice. Hair lies beneath a fogged membrane, teasing the surface. Making itself known but only to invite the viewer in for a further inquisition.With this installation I am exploring my subconscious and the dream world, through various art forms. I experimented with a wide variety of materials such as wax, human hair, mirrors, etched prints, and photography.The flux of wax can be powerful as it ignites but can also crack and crumble when penetrated, representing the uncertainty of a situation. Influences string my thought together from Artists such as Dorothy Cross, Francesca Westwood and Robert Siberry.
The human form fascinates me, the physiological patterns of growth, death, and rebirth, how mortal form is in a perpetual state of maturation. Hair, being a distinctive human component, embodies these processes.
