About
This piece was inspired by powdered wigs of the victorian era. I fell down the rabbit hole of the real lives of the people who wore them. In reality they would often stink and couldn't be washed or else they would mold. Talc and other powders were applied to the wigs and the face was often covered to prevent inhalation which is now called "clown-lung". Wool was sometime used as a substitute for real hair wigs. I found a hairstyle that is actually called "tête de mouton" or "sheep's head" that was popular in the 1750s.
