Growing up in the countryside most of my life I have become very fascinated with all the many textures of nature that can only be seen when you stop and look closely. For my project, I wanted to look at these textures in a city. It is these parts of nature that make me feel closer to home while I’m so far away.

I wanted to explore ways I could incorporate the city aspect of my life into the country part. I knew I didn’t want to add people or buildings so after lots of thinking I came up with an answer. Hair!!! Whilst this is a very abstract approach, we all have hair but what drew me to hair was the beautiful textures that hair has.

Playing around with mixing the textures of nature and hair, I was able to create a series of works that showed a seamless blend of both textures. A blend of my two homes, a blend that showcases who I am.

I hope this series inspires you to stop and truly look and embarrass your surroundings.
