Frozen Fibers 3x4” Mixed Media: Yarn, Hair, Water, and Glass
“Even though we can’t puff up our fur the way other animals do, either to look big and mean or to keep warm, we have tiny leftover erector pili muscles that cause some of our hairs to stand up when we’re cold or scared” (93).
The idea behind this piece was to show the human delicacy that can come with fear. From afar, the hair seems to be soft and suspended in water. However, to the touch, it was cold, frozen, and spiked. Frozen in place.
