Description: | 50 collages of hairstyles taken from 'black' hair magazines and pasted onto coloured paper. The collages are wall mounted in a grid system. 25 collages are displayed together as vertical (portrait) images and 25 are displayed horizontally (landscape). Relaxed cropped hairstyle with side parting, on grey background. The whole series suggests the wide ranging and diverse approaches to 'black' female style and self-presentation, within the context of debates and pressures around the politics of African hair. In addition, individual collages play on the changeability of what you see, drawing on the amorphous sculpural shapes created by plaiting, weave and perming hair. | Subjects: | Collage Popular media Representational.
