I have now moved into my degree show space. The holes in the wall have been filled and the walls have been painted. I am exciting to start hanging and arranging!
Once the chair was in my new space I began the exciting task of sewing my hair into it. Not sure why I was so excited to do this as it’s quite weird but I really wanted it to work.
Because the chair was now white, I had to be careful how I would sew my hair through it. I didn’t want it to be too obvious. the most effective way would be to do it strand by strand I felt. So this is what I began to do. Surprisingly it was a lot less frustrating this time. I feel this is due to me really wanting this to work and the fact I wasn’t trying to make the strands strong or create intricate patterns. I was sewing the hair through one by one loosely. I didn’t tie the hair or pull it tight, it literally just looks like it has been deposited on there which I really like the look of.
Several people already have said to me it looks disgusting and they don’t always notice it straight away, which I’m glad about, as this was the effect I was going for. I didn’t want to make the hair too obvious, but obvious enough. I feel the balance I have at the moment works well, enough hair but not too much. The hair is not noticeable from a far, but once close it all becomes clear…
