Hair Woven Samples
Woven on an 8-harness floor loom.
These are study samples to test unconventional materials on a loom. All samples are inspired by the history and culture of hair.
Above: a variation of accessories that utilizes hair - inspired by Victorian mourning brooches encased with hair that was used to remember the deceased. All objects are to the scale of a real person. From top to the left (sunglasses, brooch, ring). The double-weave technique creates a pocket in the weave, leaving space for the hair to be enclosed between the two layers of weaving.
