The artist has commented of this work: ''Hers' is a conceptual art clothesline. It consists of skirts, vests, bags and bracelets, onto which a realistic image of women's hair is printed. The objects evoke a dual physical sensation, of both repulsion and attraction. They might look beautiful, but also might not be acceptable to look at. The work questions conventions in relation to consumerism and the female body.' This work was included in the exhibition 'Schmatte Couture' curated for Ben Uri by artist Sarah Lightman at the Rivington Gallery in London's East End in 2008.
