Hairfall

Released on Vimeo https://vimeo.com/241456354 Gupta used her own hair which were collected over the period of few weeks from pillow, comb and bath. Hair are simply organic lines- weightless and occupy this in-between 2 dimensional and 3 dimensional space/ form. This work initiated the engagement of exploring the idea of drawing through unconventional mode and material. Each hair strand was dropped from the top on a white sheet of paper where it occupied space and shape which could not be directed. The mark making process slowly becomes dense akin to drawing by pen/ pencil on paper.
