The Coiffured

This unique solo exhibition of work by Leitrim based artist Amanda Jane Graham explores with humour and critical reflection the significant historical landmarks in the history of hairdressing.

Graham’s practice is autobiographical. Before going to art college, she worked for many years as a hairstylist which imbues and informs this truly imaginative work. She delves into personal history and excavates memories and experiences, some of which are challenging but, almost always, humour emerges. She articulates her story through references to humour in popular culture.
