Hair Highway was a project commissioned by Pearl Lam Gallery and has since gone on to exhibit in the V&A Museum, London. The work explores the potential of human hair beyond its wildly expanding role in the beauty industry. As the world’s population increases, human hair is re-imagined as an abundant and renewable alternative to diminishing resources such as tortoise shell or tropical wood. Based around the notion of the ancient Silk Road, which transported not only silk but also technologies, aesthetics and ideas between East and West - Hair Highway explores the ideas of modern day cultural cross-overs in a collection of objects inspired by the Qing dynasty and 1920s Shanghai-Deco era.
