This is one of the next pieces that I am working on. I figured I'd make this to generate more work. My new position as a coordinatoor at an afterschool can be stressful and I find myself exhausted after work and doing less of my own artwork, so I'm trying to get back on track. The finish will be in cut paper. The real glory of the piece is the headwrap. The pattern on it will have more details of the many hair styles i have gotten throughout the years. It is funny how much someone's hair can define them. I feel as if my attitude and clothing style changed with each different style. I also feel like it says a lot about me that throughout all the hairstyles never once have I let it just be a natural fro. With all the hot combs and chemicals i put in my hair, it is kind of like I am fighting nature. With this piece I question my perception of beauty and why I find the need to alter myself.
