display

well... i have all these jars of glitter that I bought for my homoerotic party and didn't use so i tipped them out and put the hair inside. I need to think of ways to display my tiny winy eency weency objects so that people look at them closely... like put them under lenses? the jar is kinda sweet tho

small experiments

Matted ball of hair with cotton edging.
Holds together well because the hair is already tangled in knots. It takes little time to sew but looks messy. The heart shape is irrelevant the ball just looked like a heart... this technique keeps some of the original form of the hair and still maintains an element of grotesqueness
Lace making...
of sorts, i copied the lace pattern on the bottom of the petticoat i was wearing and tried to sew hair in to it. It looks quite nice from the back the way the hair forms a sort of bowl shape around the sewn edges. I would like to get lace and sew the hair back in to it as another experiment because trying to cut patterns out of material seems pointless...

Button
and WHAT a button! covered in human hair no less, well i never! must have taken her hours upon hours to make that masterful work with no gaps around the edges and a PURPOSE. I can see the meaning in it already, i bet she's going to make sets of them, entire suits even. Mundane is the very last word that comes to mind when this button is placed in front of me, oh the fun i am having! Exclaimed everyone excitedly

on the pissaaahhh

These photos are crap, i have no idea how to use a DSLR properly... never been taught, mark, jesse, emily, heeeeellllppppppp meeeee! It can't be too hard surely, I was a little nervous about getting too close as you would imagine, didn't want to drop the camera in jim's morning wees. The toilet paper is a farce, obviously if you're doing wees out your penis you don't use it. I think it looks really pretty, maybe not in these shots because they are so out of focus and the lighting sucks but you get the general idea. The floating paper and the soft yellow tones (depending on which wees it is, morning wees are quite ugly and if you drink too much too fast then it has no colour) can be beautiful and dreamlike.

am i talking shit?




'....broughty,

can i flush the toilet,

or is this stale piss your art work?'

Crochet

Please click on these for detail... it took me so long to do this! Not going to continue with my dream to crochet something from hair as it is virtually impossible. I think i will make lace instead i just need to buy a lace making THING.I thought about crocheting thread from the hair, then making lace from that but i think it would look a little untidy, especially compared to other works made from hair that i have seen. BUT... those other works weren't looking for that feeling of abjection or repulsiveness, something i want to retain elements of, an excuse for sub-standard craftmanship

post title

I found these books with samples of hair colours during inorganic collection in mount eden what a find!!! possibly up there with the telephone, toaster and kettle that we use in our flat but not quite up there with the pink elephant watering can
and so
I thought i would rip them apart and play around with the little swatches of hair and i made this little doily shaped thing basically because one end of the hair is all shitty and covered in cardboard and glue and this is just what looked besticles.
I want to make a little hair sample book with hair from people, and instead of naming the colours 'intense blue black' etc i'll call them 'racist red' and 'sandy slut' or something to that effect.....yaya. just a side project i think beacuse although it wont take long to make it WILL take time to collect enough hair from people, and find people who will let me cut their hair. I could just sneakily cut hair but it could get me in to a bit of strife.
