About this work

This piece shows three dark, tangled clumps of hair on a white background. The strands look messy and wild, almost like they’re moving. The paper is plain, so the hair stands out hard. The hair is real—it’s the artist’s own, glued to the page. This makes the work feel personal and raw. Check out Hannah Wilke to see how she used her own body in her art.
