Textile, Rodney Love, Six Degrees - Work 1, 2004-2007

Artists statement

The Six Degrees works are hand-spun human hair yarn woven on a 4-shaft table loom with a cotton warp. The names of the people who have donated the hair are written above the weavings. They were traced with graphite carbon paper directly on to mount board. Six Degrees is about the connections between individuals and the groups they are part of, emphasised by the names of the donors of the hair being included above the weavings.
