A Mixture of Frailties, 2004. 1400 yellow household gloves turned inside out, calico. mondofacture: Artist Susie MacMurray makes sculptures big and small out of such offbeat materials as dairy hoses, human hair, and fish hooks to represent the juxtaposition of human ingenuity and fragility. I know you were turned off the instant you read the words “human hair,” but give Susie a chance. You can see more of her work here, and make sure to read her feature on Cool Hunting and Huffingtonpost.com “A first encounter with the work of artist Susie MacMurray inevitably places the viewer right at the centre of the key issue in her work - the tension between extremes of sensual and aesthetic response: Ying/yang; anima/animus; soft/hard; a dress/not a dress; love/death; freedom/constraint; power/submission.”
