Tiff Massey - Tiff's project was on hair, and what it means to the black woman. The artist says hair is one of the first ways a black girl can adorn and appreciate herself. Tiff has had experiences where strangers have asked to touch her hair, moments she did not enjoy. One of her goals is for outsiders to understand how hair is linked to identity and culture. Massey's set included the barrett sculptures, a set of hairstyles which she did herself with help of her stylist, and a neon sign with language I'm sure my editor won't let me include in the paper. But the strong language fuels Tiff's feelings and artistic drive.
