Inspired by architect Frank Gehry's Guggenheim museum masterpiece in Bilbao, Spain, the Smiths create a collection of geometric shapes, sticks and curls.
Using everything from green screen to cardboard blocks and toilet paper cores, Matrix Artistic Directors Brian and Sandra Smith bring their shapely beauty masterpiece to life.
2. "We used human and synthetic hair to create the individual pieces," Brian informs. "The faux hair made it particularly diffi cult to create smooth, precise shapes. It took weeks of our time, but thanks to plenty of patience, it all came together perfectly." Sandra adds, "We're especially proud of the fact that very little Photoshop was done to the images, making them true works of hair art!"
