Description

A favored folk art of the 18th and 19th century, hair art was a sentimental expression of grief and love, usually created by women who have become anonymous over time. Human hair (from both living and deceased persons) was used to form flower bouquets, braided jewelry chains, weeping willows, and painted scenes of mourning. Considered to be a form of portraiture, these were cherished tokens to preserve the memory of a deceased loved one, chart a vibrant family tree of the living, or to be traded as friendship keepsakes. It is rare to view such pieces as they were created in domestic settings, for home display."Woven Strands: The Art of Human Hair Work", exhibited at the Mütter Museum January 18, 2018 - September 16, 2018, was curated by Evan Michelson, Emily Snedden Yates, and John Whitenight. The exhibition features sixty pieces of, or related to, human hair work from six private collections spanning 1681-1915. This book represents the exhibition and additional hair items from the Mütter Museum collection.
