Video Piece Title: On Growth and Hair

Concerned with the question of identity this video loop was shot as a stop-frame sequence over a period of 4 months. One frame shot each day documenting the re-growth of hair after a particularly efficient haircut. No cosmetics or artificial enhancements have been employed to bolster the subject’s ego or interfere with the effects of the passage of time.
