Talia Greene, Coiffed: A Typology of Entropic Variations, 2008

In this series of prints entitled, Coiffed: A Typology of Entropic Variations, altered cabinet cards reference the urge to control nature, and its futility, with a playful exaggeration of the quotidian frustration of taming our hair. In each portrait, the hair takes on a life of its own in the form of a swarm of flies. It grows; runs wild; starts to conform; then runs wild once more. With each new hairstyle, the sitter takes on a new identity. Even as we try to impose our will on nature, nature imposes its anarchy on us.
