Check the table of contents of any fashion magazine and you’ll see that hair is commonly portrayed as a battleground for women — dying it, taming it and removing it are all part of the mass-marketed campaign of socially-acceptable femininity. Continuing her exploration the alternate possibilities of beauty, Hi-Fructose Volume 22 cover artist Winnie Truong presents another series of intricate, delicate drawings. Hair takes sculptural shapes, forming veritable environments that sometimes soothe and, other times, smother, her muses.
Canada based artist Winnie Truong explores this issue in her latest series “A Slow Immersion.” Using color pencil on paper, Truong depicts hair as an object of comfort, a veil to hide behind, a living organism which is squeezing the life out of its subject. In many of the works, the division between the subject and her hair is ambiguous, making the hair appear as an extension of personality and identity. Truong’s use of expressive line is lovely.
