Splitting

By  Lucy Brown 2025

Soap has and bathed the human body for thousands of years. Hair has always been part of this personal ritual, either embodied or dis-embodied.  Together; melted, poured and solidified, soap and hair become a repulsive viewing. Stranded, entwined and in the action of splitting, a limbo anxious state surfaces.
