Melanie Bilenker
At just about 2×2 inches each pieces, this ‘hair art’ jewellery by Philadelphia graduate Melanie Bilenker is dragging the boundaries of detail beyond anything I’ve previously seen. Incredibly weird and really worth a look.
“The Victorians kept lockets of hair and miniature portraits painted with ground hair and pigment to secure the memory of a lost love. In much the same way, I secure my memories through photographic images rendered in lines of my own hair, the physical remnants. I do not reproduce events, but quiet minutes, the mundane, the domestic, the ordinary moments.”
