Hair has always been prominent in Patricia Piccinini's practice, both materially and conceptually. A signifier of mammalhood, its presence (or absence) can also represent either femininity or masculinity, depending on its relationship to the body. 

The prelude to this presentation, a series of new ink and gouache drawings of hair (amongst other things), will only just begin to prepare you for the fantastically joyful kinetic installation at the heart of her exhibition.
