Hair covers 90% of our external bodies, as a nation, we are obsessed with it, yet we find a single hair in our food and we are horrified. By integrating myself into a collection of tableware, I aim to portray my identity and question preconceptions of this hairy topic. For example, how does discarded hair make you feel?
Body of Ceramics is displayed on a tabletop equal to my height and width, each piece reflects measurements of my body, from the palm of my hand to the length of my foot plus as a whole equals my weight at the time, 7st 11lbs. My own head hair has been spun, knitted and applied using various techniques.
Collaborated with: Jenny Dalby founder of ‘Sheep to Chic’; Spinning yarn from the untraditional.
