art is about many things. things that relate to the world. our world is on fire. literally and metaphorically. our world is hurting. we are hurting. if as an artist you can’t reflect, engage, or take position on the things happening in the world then, your art is questionable. your being an artist is also questionable.

R A D I C A L C A R E, a two parts installation made out of human hair. Consists of two pieces: a hand-felted hair tapestry (400×190cm) with growing chia sprouts, and a collection of individual hair donations.

How do we relate to hair once it is disconnected of the human body?

What can happen if we challenge social norms around impurity, disgust and decay that are related to human hair?

What can be found when we transgress the abject?
