Her face was in a bed of hair,
Like flowers in a plot --
Her hand was whiter than the sperm
That feeds the sacred light.
Her tongue more tender than the tune
That totters in the leaves --
Who hears may be incredulous,
Like flowers in a plot --
Her hand was whiter than the sperm
That feeds the sacred light.
Her tongue more tender than the tune
That totters in the leaves --
Who hears may be incredulous,
Who witnesses, believes.
Emily Dickinson

completely utterly splendid (including the link). thanks.
ReplyDeleteomg! hehe. this reminds me of the days of Marie Antoinette with their yards of hair, probably with rats living in it.
ReplyDeleteNow that's Big Hair - somewhere between primitive idol and
ReplyDeleteeternal icon. (By the way, my daughter who surveys my incoming email and sees Little Augury more often than others says you should change your name to Big Augury. Maybe Great Augury, Magnificient Augury...would be a truer name today!)
Extravagant, and visually stunning.
ReplyDeleteWild, and Larger than life.
Well, I did wear my hair in a braid yesterday. However, I see now it was woefully inadequate.
ReplyDeleteThe images and the quote together=perfection!!!
ReplyDeleteI could use a good hairpiece for my hair-ball of ahead.
ReplyDeleteThose are simply divine.

Obviously inspired by the famous 1960s Vogue photograph of Veruschka similarly haloed in blonde Dynel braids.
ReplyDeleteYou missed the opportunity to link bigger than Dallas hair and Miss Emily against the backdrop from Hair, the musical. That's what went through my hair/head!
ReplyDeleteThese bring to mind the hair work that VIctorian women used to do (probably so as not to go totally mad from idleness). They can often be found in house museums and up for sale in auctions. I find them quite fascinating and imagine all the time the ladies must have spent collecting the hair (and I wonder how exactly they did that -- how much cutting from the living and dead, how much from combs and things -- eeew) and making it into those tableaux of hair.
ReplyDeletethe designer says “Our intention is to review the hair subject as a social and cultural element. Why do barristers still use wigs? Why does a woman have her hair done for a special occasion? Let’s give emotional value to this aspect as well. Let’s wonder why a good hair do could make us feel happier, more beautiful or uglier, better or worse… Let’s find the way to transfer this concept into a real object. Several exercises will guide us through this workshop, varying from simple to complex, from obvious to surprising, and from observation to experience.”
ReplyDeleteThere are many references here. From period coifs to Veruschka and DV's creative genius. townhouse-yes all that referenced in this work. I have a braided hair bracelet-thats about it for hair pieces! pgt
ReplyDeleteMy hair looks just like that in the morning ; )
