Creating images with; Hair, hands and feet.

Ok so. How do u go about making a picture with hair? Do you sacrifice all those years of growing it to dip in acrylic paint in the name of art? Or do you plait pencils into it and try with difficulty to make a picture that can only be described as ''Abstract?''

Well all of these questions when through my head but non to which i could justify being worth working at..

So instead i would love to say i cut my own hair and used it to create a paint brush. But sadly not.

I did however insist that my brother needed his hair cutting and that i would gladly take him to the barbers. When he got there he wasn't to impressed that his older sister asked the barber if it would be possible to collect his hair and use it to make art. In fact i would much more say mortified was his reaction.

When i got his hair home, i tried to think of an apporiate way to use it as a tool, attempting to make it into a paint brush. but after much effort realised that this wasn't going to work seen as the hair just kept slipping out of the contraption and simply made a mess.

Atempt at paint brush



I then decided well why not make an image that can change, why not use the hair to make the image itself.. if its not hair on a real persons head or face.. lets make it hair for a drawing. Logical. After attempts to glue the hair down and failing i decided that hair is a free moving material, so it can be for the image itself. So here are my trials.. its not possible to bring this into uni so on here will have to do.
