Fleur Ouwerkerk’s work explores the relationship between identity and appearance through mixed media, including photography, drawings and hand-woven work. This results in (layered) portraits, tapestries and Wearable Art. Fifteen years ago, when first shaving off her long hair, Fleur got in touch with the role and significance that hair plays in how people perceive beauty and femininity. This experience marked the beginning of her fascination and appreciation -maybe even obsession- for hair and resulted in the creation of  her hand-woven Wearable Art and objects, made from (synthetic) hair.
