Crit Blog Response for Princess's Thesis

I couldn't post on Princess's blog because hers is on tumblr. I really like where she is going with her thesis. In crit we briefly spoke about the scientific info behind all of the hair relaxers and chemicals that are used in african american women's hair to straighten or curl their hair and the dangers involved in using these chemicals. We spoke about possibly including a salon chair or the actual chemicals in her thesis display along with her paintings however it was concluded that it was not necessary. She included one 'before' picture in her series that included a head on shot of this woman amongst all of the stereotypical 'after' portraits that were awkwardly posed and not natural. I really liked the inclusion of this picture because it creates a nice balance between all of the other paintings she has worked on so far. I like how she has a corner in the gallery to fill with her works and all in a line which I think would like really nice. Basically, she's pretty much on the right path and she just needs to keep working on them but they look amazing so far.
