Hair
2017
A meticulously rendered close-up of hair painted in oil on canvas, capturing the texture and subtle tonal variations of individual strands with an unsettling intimacy. Wood's precise, almost clinical attention to this isolated fragment of the body transforms an ordinary subject into something quietly disquieting, characteristic of her broader fascination with cropped, objectified details. The work reflects her ability to elevate the mundane into something psychologically charged through restrained yet deeply focused technique.
