About this work
Description
Sculpture of the brain made from layering donated human hair into a mould of a model brain. This hair is from a female donor and retains its natural grey colouring.
"Hair brained" is an English idiomatic phrase used as a derogatory term to explain someone's possibly irrational thought.
The brain measures approximately 18 cm (W) by 17 cm (H) by 18 cm (D).
