# Human Hair Sculptures Augustina Woodgate Uses People's Hair to Create Art Pieces By Summer Luu | Published 2010-09-29 | Art & Design Source: Trend Hunter, https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/augustina-woodgate References: [whatthecool](http://whatthecool.com/post/1204521217/human-hair-art) & [beautifuldecay](http://beautifuldecay.com/2010/09/27/agustina-woodgate/) Augustina Woodgate stretches her creativity by using human hair to make [structural art pieces](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/the-scad). Yes, actual human hair was collected to make both a castle and a [pair of shoes](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/done-dusted). For the castle, Augustina Woodgate used 3,000 blocks of human hair. Although the castle stands tall with majestic like details, it is still made with a creepy medium. The hairy shoes are slippers, but definitely not a pair I personally would like to slip in. Her artwork is interesting nonetheless. ## Trend Insights (Trend Hunter) - Score: 4.1/10 - Popularity: 51% | Activity: 63% | Freshness: 8% - Audience gender: 50% men, 50% women - Primary generations: Millennial - Top markets: North America, Europe, Asia ## Categories [Trend Hunter](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends) > [Art & Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/artdesign) > [Design](https://www.trendhunter.com/design) ## Key Themes ### What's Driving This Trend - **Artistic Use of Human Hair:** An emerging trend in the art world is the use of human hair as a medium for creating unique and unconventional sculptures, offering artists new opportunities for self-expression and pushing the boundaries of traditional art forms. - **Sustainable Art Practices:** The use of recycled materials, such as human hair, in art creation is becoming more prevalent, reflecting a growing focus on sustainability and environmental consciousness in the art industry. - **Unconventional Materials in Fashion:** Fashion designers are exploring the use of unconventional materials, like human hair, to create unique and avant-garde clothing pieces, leading to innovative and boundary-pushing fashion designs. ### Who This Affects Most - **Art and Sculpture:** The art and sculpture industry can leverage the artistic use of human hair to attract new audiences and create truly distinctive and thought-provoking artworks. - **Recycling and Sustainability:** The recycling and sustainability industry can partner with artists who use recycled materials like human hair to raise awareness about sustainable practices and encourage more eco-friendly attitudes. - **Fashion and Apparel:** The fashion and apparel industry can embrace the use of unconventional materials like human hair to offer customers avant-garde fashion choices and disrupt the traditional norms of fashion design. ## Related on Trend Hunter - [Hair-Reusing Fabric Companies](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/dutch-startup.md) - [Sculptural Knitted Objects](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/sculptural-knitted-objects.md) - [Folk Creature Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/fibredog.md) - [Artistic African Culture Chairs](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/patewo-chair.md) - [Grass Root-Made Sculptural Wearables](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/rootfull.md) - [Wooden Identity Art Forms](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/hughmanity.md) - [Human Torso-Inspired Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/lene-bdker.md) - [Towering Reclaimed Wooden Sculptures](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/louise-durham.md) - [Paper-Made Mosaic Artwork](https://www.trendhunter.com/trends/real-life-architecture-exhibition.md)
