Three Bee Hair Extended
Extending an illustrated book I started in previous years, ‘Three Bee Hair’ takes the reader through a trip to the hair shop and offers insight into black culture, community, aesthetics and a big part of our identity, our hair. Being of West African heritage myself, I’ve always had an interesting relationship with my hair as I see it as a way to express myself and my identity. The history of afro hair and the styles worn have lots of historical roots and is something that is a huge topic of conversation but also, something that unites us within the community.
The original version of this book was entirely dry-point etched and I have created a risograph extended version printed at Good Press. The book features an acrylic afro-comb cover and is french folded and spiral bound.
