Original artwork description:
Pop cultural exploration, expressing the hidden but ever present fixtures we take for granted in our daily lives.
Hand crafted African Combes can be traced back over 5000 years. In many African societies, ancient and modern, the traditional African comb/ African pick/ Afro comb has been used to symbolize status, group affiliation, religious beliefs and in modern times as a symbol for social cultural movements. It has also played a crucial role in the creation, maintenance and decoration of hairstyles. The handles often depict objects of status, such, human figures and motifs that reference nature and the traditional spirit world.
