“This piece was created for an exhibition that asked about the artist’s relationship with hair. The first association I had from the prompt was that due to a disability diagnosed at a young age I had to have my hair kept very short. My disability and my cropped hair were the first ways I felt othered from the girls in my community, and were complex catalysts for my ongoing evaluation of the general idea of gender, as well as my own personal relationship with the concept of womanhood.”
