These drawings are part of an ongoing series of self-portraits drawn from my eyebrow hairs collected over 2.5 to 3 year time periods. Collection for the first drawing in this series started in 2005. I continue to collect for my next drawing still today. In part, this project is documentation of the dedication and obsessive habits associated with the common cosmetic routine of plucking eyebrows. It is also about time and the effects of aging.   i am testing my personal drive and dedication while exploring concepts of private vs. public, beautiful vs. grotesque, and control vs. the uncontrollable in relation to self-perception.
