I’ve read that some years ago you wrote a dissertation on the use of hair in contemporary art. How come? Is there comparability between working with feathers and hair - both formally and in a symbolic sense?
Nature is inextricably linked to my practice so it’s completely ingrained to use materials from the natural world. I have used bones and hair in the past and intend to revisit these materials in the future, however, I am enjoying primarily using feathers for now. Both feathers and hair carry both a universal and personal significance, they are at once both familiar and alien, as materials this makes them exciting to employ. They also share the protein Keratin as their chief component.
