A lot of women in LA are obsessed with their hair, but installation artist Castillo takes the prize. Her large-scale sculptural works combine natural and artificial hair with rope and other textile materials, creating sweeping, towering, imposing, and alluring falls, spheres, and lattices that reference the expansive cross-cultural symbolic capacity of hair — from sexuality to ritual, femininity to power, and beauty to mystery.
