TRIM

TRIM is an imagined archive of 100 hairstyles, created with AI generated asset and manual post production in photoshop. The series begins with something familiar: the hairstyle. A bob. Braids. Locs. Curls. Pigtails. Afros. Buns. Cornrows. Spikes. Long hair. Short hair. Shaved heads. But somewhere along the way, those familiar forms start becoming something else. Hair becomes architecture. Hair becomes costume. Hair becomes sculpture. Hair becomes a silhouette. Sometimes it becomes a character. Sometimes it becomes a memory. Sometimes it becomes something that could never exist outside the imagination. The 100 works move between recognizable hairstyles, cultural references, historical forms, popular culture, fashion, classic beauty, contemporary styling and completely imagined creations. Some are immediately familiar. Others feel like they belong to a person who doesn't exist yet.
