HAIR POLITICS visualises a long-held fascination by Dennis’ own afro-textured hair and its juxtaposition with western ideals of beauty. The work is a contrast of beautifully-lit portraits of black women wearing their ‘nightscarves’, juxtaposed with animated still life’s of hair pieces (winning 1st Place in the IPA’s for Fine Art; Still Life). This work was recently exhibited as part of Survival Guides Brixton.
Dennis is a photographer and visual artist based in London, UK.
