Barbara Kendrick

Chicagoan Barbara Kendrick makes clothes completely out of human hair, addressing the obsessive qualities we bring to our grooming and personal appearance. Hairstyles have many cultural associations: decades have been defined by them. But Kendrick places hair in contexts independent of the head, thus questioning perceptions of feminine beauty. The artist holds a faculty position in the School of Art and Design at the University of Illinois in Urbana-Champaign.
