Looks are Deceiving

Isn't it strange that hair on our heads is beautiful and full of power-- but hair on the wall or between your sheets is fuel for nightmares? That the same strands simply being relocated to the most mundane places shakes us from the routine and into the discomfort of a late night double feature picture show?

Hair on your head: beautiful.
Hair in your burger: poison.
Hair cascading down the stairs: horror.
 

Jessica Wohl wants to warp your world. The Midwestern artist transforms unassuming places into spooky shifting spaces by manipulating the mundane.  Her recent installations remind us that looks are deceiving, nothing is as it seems and anything could be breathing.

The Dreamtime: Inspiration

Braids are a beautiful achievement on their own, so you can imagine our glee when we discovered these hypnotizing works on paper by So Yoon Lym.

The Dreamtime series draws inspiration from aboriginal myths of creation, undulating landscapes and chronicles the journeys of both the braider and wearer.

We are particularly appreciative of the subtle movement and meditative detail of the images.

Here are a few of our favorites:

Slow Immersion

Winnie Truong's latest show, Slow Immersion  is a surreal collection of dreamy tresses. The Toronto artist explores our relationship with hair beyond aesthetic beauty, but as a meditation on  expression, personality and security. 

Curls, waves and braids entwine with portraits and body parts to create fantasies that are both winsome and unsettling.

These drawings could be the ethereal fairytale princess--

or the thing that eats the princess.

 

Truongs exhibition is currently on display at Mulherin + Pollard NYC
