Artist Alice Anderson has filled the Riflemaker gallery with thousands of metres of hair as part of her ongoing fascination with time and memory. Reams of red locks stream out of the window above the gallery’s entrance, threading their way back through the first floor window before plunging down the building’s chimney to create a Rapunzel circular loop running between the two floors. For auburn headed Anderson the work is part of her obsession with the fictionalisation of childhood, and follows a trio of exhibitions at the Picasso Museum in Paris, the Frac Paca and at the Marc Chagall National Museum. At Riflemaker, through film, sculpture and photography Alice continues to consider the way time shapes itself and how memories are distorted into fairy tale fictions.Artist Alice Anderson has filled the Riflemaker gallery with thousands of metres of hair as part of her ongoing fascination with time and memory.
