Icelandic artist Hrafnhildur Arnardottir aka Shoplifter, the creator of Bjork's amazing hair mask featured on the cover of her 2004 album Medulla, will present his first London East London ’s Trolley Gallery.
Medulla 2004
For several years Shoplifter has worked exploring the use and symbolic nature of hair, and its visual and artistic potential. It started as a discovery in an antique shop, a lock of hair encased as a keepsake and shaped as a flower, and has since evolved as an exploration of hair's meaning - from strength, self-image and beauty, to vanity, decoration and fashion. Shoplifer works in print, sculpture, murals and other types of medium.
