Woman's Work 3
Chelsea Bradway
$250.00


Artist statement: As a child in the 70s, I had terrible haircuts from the Dorthy Hamel to Sun IN disasters and a whole decade of Madonna hairstyles I never knew or understood the work that went into taking care of hair. When I began my Women's Empowerment shoot a friend wanted to show me how empowering it was to do both of her daughter's hair. I observed the intensity, skill, and patience that went into styling hair. The rhythm and cadence were much like an unspoken dance between mother and daughter.
Specific medium: BW Photograph on fine art paper
