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.

remarkable collection of jewelry by melanie bilenker ~ crafted of precious metals, resin, pigment and hair.
