images of work > Cat Hair

I have collected cat hair for years. The hair comes from my own pets and from cats owned by my friends. The texture of cat hair varies from one animal to another, but overall the hair's fineness and softness is attractive to me as an art medium. I use specific brushes to collect the hair so that it can be hand shaped into forms that when combined with other found elements, produce anthropomorphic structures such as the ones seen here.
