This piece comes from her 2016 series "Black Work" where she explores and investigates the complex history of embroidery and hair. The original Mao bust was found in Jingdezhen, China in a desk drawer and is from the 1970s. The artist made a plaster mold of this small bust and cast them individually in porcelain. She then sculpted on top of each head different hairstyles of girls. Mao is considered an architect for China’s one-child policy which has created the greatest gender imbalance of any country. The artist wanted to take away his power and iconic image by turning him into girls.
