"hair" part 50kabillion

these are really beautiful.

nagi noda

nagi noda did amazing hair sculptures, videos, commercials... and too bad i just started looking in to her, cause she passed away over a year ago at age 35!  more of her work at naginoda.com

these are from her "hair hat" series.  more photos at uchu-country.

she also did a line with the illustrator mark ryden - called broken label.  you can really see both noda's and ryden's influence on these photos/pcs.
