A Body Hair Experiment

[Body Hair Photo Essay Coming Soon!]

Pranked! How did I get conned all those years into conforming? How about you? Are you consciously aware of each of your choices around body hair, and not just the hair on your head? Did our choices fade into convention, so that now we don’t even notice the choices we are making? 

I wanted to notice again, to shave and to grow intentionally—I started an experiment.

In these photos [MORE COMING SOON], I examine body part by part, half and half, hairy and smooth. I asked how do I feel about you my dear hairy leg and you my dear smooth leg? How do you feel to be out of sync with the other side?

I invite you to explore: Did you make a choice to have this expression, this relationship to your body hair, was it all assumed and unquestioned? What if you choose with intention, each and every body part. What about today and what about tomorrow and what about next week? How does it impact how you move through the world? How you feel in your body? What are the possibilities and combinations?

Does body hair even matter?
