Not knowing where it would lead, I requested time in a hair analysis laboratory. I was given clearance and the freedom to shadow, explore what happened here.My gratitude to the lab Director and Staff for accommodating me. This was me as subject (my hair sample) but also as 'other', the 'scientist'. It reflects my questioning and explorations of inside / outside. It explores identity and with my hair undergoing this process how body and machine are supplementing one another.

The work followed during a short residency in a Hair Analysis Laboratory. Images ,debris collected and audio recorded. The experience feeding my thinking as a visual philosophist, resulting in work X/701085,Repair and Maintenance 8.
