Last chance to see: ‘Tangle Teaser’ at the Sarabande Foundation, as eight artists get to the root of hair and its power

Numerous pieces utilise disembodied hair. While it is often fetishised when connected to the head, hair in a plughole or stuck to the bathroom floor is another matter. Camilla Hanney’ssubverts this, featuring a broom with luscious curls spilling from the handle, forming plaited waves on the floor. Isabel Castro Jung works with her and her partner’s combined hair, taking a matted entanglement and turning it into a celebration of love.

‘My work looks at the things we make literal and physical as a way to stay attached to family, heritage and unknown identities of self,’ she says. ‘Most importantly, the ways we wordlessly communicate our love for others.’ Her vessels are functionless, disrupting traditional approaches to sculpting and weaving. ‘The distorted lack of functionality in my work suggests the way family rituals are passed down, reshaped and marked by each person that continues to engage with them,’ she says.

Shannon Bono’s pop-up salon and paintings celebrate Black hair, bringing together 1920s Congolese hairstyles with contemporary trends. She presents the salon as a place of connection and community, painting styling tools as items of beauty and adorning the works with small seashells used in braids.

Laila Tara H and Paloma Tendaro convey female defiance through hair. The former explores women’s historical ownership of nothing but jewellery in some countries. Hanging loops of hair ‘like a noose’ from small rings, she contrasts delicate jewels with the violent consequences of female dissent. Tendaro creates vein-like strands of red wool to explore the tale of Medusa, connecting her blood-transformative properties with the danger symbolised by her untamed hair.
