Pure Taste Indicator - Artist Page

My artwork is created by hand-sewing my own hair into canvas, mylar or various art papers. I have been sewing with my own hair since 2000. My decision to collect and sort my hair to utilize as a vehicle for making art is informed by socio-cultural symbolism, feminism and body issues, and religious symbolism. The personalization of social issues in a serial format is the framework for my artwork. Societal impositions upon body image, transformative perspectives about women and violence, and the socio-cultural burdens endured by women are the most recently explored topics. Social issues are viewed through a multifarious lens of mass media, social media and art history.
