This graduate thesis exhibition features the work of contemporary local photographer, Tara Bogart. Photographs from her popular female portraiture series, A Modern Hair Study, will be presented alongside work from her Parisian counterpart series, Un Capillaire Modern Etude. Both series examine the corporeal adornment and modification of women in their 20s, specifically addressing hair color, hairstyle, and body art. These portraits will be accompanied by photographs from Locks, Bogart’s 2014 series dealing with fragments of hair that have been given to her as keepsakes. This portion of the show will consider the different historical, sentimental, and scientific significance that a lock of hair holds.

Opening Reception – Thursday, May 19, 6-8 PM

Conversation with the Artist – Saturday, May 21, at 1 PM
