The Kitchen Do Series Part 1 & 2
Creating this photo series allowed me to reminisce in all of the times I got my hair done in a kitchen. It brought back memories of me leaning over the sink to get my hair washed and sitting so long my until my butt was numb, LOL. It made me think of the countless braids, silk presses and ponytails I have gotten done in "Somebody's Kitchen". This photo series allowed me to be creative and innovative. I was inspired by Carrie Mae Weems "Kitchen Table Series".
