Delicate threads twisted together become strong- perhaps humanity’s first technological revelation: not just a tool but evidence of an interior life reaching outward, beyond the limits of the body. Forms of twisting and entanglement speak to human striving: cables, ropes, and roads, but these same forms are equally biological – the branching of a nervous system, of vein and artery. I feel this entanglement embodied within me: my hair, my tension with time, my mortality. This series acts as personal incantations that collaborate with the protective energy of a hive, the transformational power of snakeskin, the performative tension of fake hair, and some of the oldest pigments known to man.
