The pencil moustache


Went to John Waters' "This Filthy World" show this halloween. Dressed as a tribute. Attempting his smile, but can't capture the creepiness. Actually have shaved my face leaving a (barely perceptible unfortunately) pencil moustache, enhanced with charcoal pencil.

"Groomed" by me

In "Groomed" I am given a hot towel, straight-razor shave by a professional barber. The work documents the process of the shave and also the relationships between myself, the senior and junior barbers.
