| Explanation | Born in Nepal, Ashmina Ranjit learned art in Nepal and Australia. Believing that the chain of creation is possible due to the ability of women, she seeks the inner beauty and strength found within everyday objects closely related to the female body such as accessories, make-up, and hair. This piece, centering on red string woven into three plaited hair braids of a married Nepalese woman, expresses themes on the energy and allure of hair. |
