So when a friend suggested I should grow a goatie, I thought I’d give it a go. Four days later and it’s exceeded all my wildest expectations. Grass. Why do I suddenly crave grass? sigh

I wanted 1942 to serve as an experiment, questioning what stereotype if any surrounded the ‘skinhead.’ Within days I received comments of ‘racist’ and ‘Nazi’ signifying prejudice against a shaven head, when in modern day society diversity is usually praised and encouraged. The origin of the term ‘skinhead’ is not rooted in racism, the term being corrupted in the 1970’s by the neo-nazi movement. The term actually stems from the Jamaican skinheads such as Bunny Wailer, who populated Reggae in the1960’s, some decade previous. By 1968/69, the ‘skinhead’ wasn’t just a hairstyle but a way of life. To these working class people, cleanliness, stylish clothes and good music were dominant. The increasing popularity of Ska music, a branch of reggae bred the skinhead in their straight jeans, large boots, white shirts, braces and nylon or leather jackets and were regularly seen at Judge Dread gigs. Doc Marten, Ben Sherman, and Vespa scooters were typical designers of the ‘skinhead’ movement, which dwindled in the mid 70’s. This is around the time the neo-nazi movement became prominent, as the ‘mod generation’ became divided and those racist, political hating, violent youths were the new face, the new stereotype. They popularised themselves throughout the 80’s and 90’s with bands such as ‘Skrewdriver’ and were akin to increased violence on Adolf Hitler’s birthday. The number of ‘skinheads’ in Britain today is in decline, as in essence the skinhead is a youth organisation for the youth. Thus upon reaching full maturity, starting a family and encompassing different values the need to be in such a group no longer exists and without the experience and knowledge of older members their ‘skinhead’ values are degenerate. This is why I felt my experiment was necessary. Would the youth of day, born after the domination of the neo-nazi still be aware of their values and the attributes, which contribute to their stereotype? The answer lies within you the spectator. Consider what you first felt upon viewing 1942. Did it bring back fond memories of dancing to reggae, Bob Marley and the ‘Chelsea haircut’ or did it make you envisage violent racists? Movements begin, grow and they pass. The real reason the ‘Mods’ shaved their head was to avoid lice, for hygiene. Surely the time close cut hair symbolising a racist has passed. This was a series i took a while back for a project i was doing on fashion and surrealism I must have took around 30 or so photographs to get the best images at different stages. / to take these shots i used a canon 20d propped up on a tripod with a self timer.

Original in 2b pencil. Added sepia. From the Vampire series. The guest was shaving in a mirror he had brought with him & the Vampire comes up behind him, & the guest is startled, because the Vampire does not cast a reflection in the mirror so comes upon the guest unseen & unheard, & the guest is so startled & he cuts himself, & begins to bleed, & the Vampire sees the blood and reaches out for him, but burns his fingers on the crucifix around the guest’s neck, the guest is saved by the crucifix which the woman back at the inn had given him before he reached the castle

In a recent fit of madness, I cut off my beard, the whole thing…if you don’t count a little Dizzy Gillespie soul patch action under the lower lip.. on me, it looks like a smear. I’ve had a beard almost as long as I’ve had eyebrows, I think…. Anyway, it seemed like a good idea at the time – all this talk about change wears you down – so I lopped it all off and, as I reported to a few friends in email, discovered a sort of depressed, underfed pigeon staring at me from the mirror…Then I remembered why some of us wear beards… I plan to grow it back – rubbing Rogaine on my chin as I write this…and, in all likelihood, as you read this…. One brave soul asked to see evidence of the naked visage… Since we aims to please, and since shawhouse is nothing if not photojournalist first, something else second, I took this snapshot….. Before you ask, yes, I touched it up a little in photoshop… shawhouse

This is one of my more recent pieces, it centres around the gender war. Hopefully it looks quite androgynous. Shaving is an activity that men generally do on the face. I just thought it would be interesting to include my beestung lips and my nail varnished fingers. It was produced using acrylic paint and gel pens

I found this old razor blade while taking a walk and for some reason the character of it appealed to me. It is painted with Rublev 18th century reproduction watercolor paint on Arches 140# cold-pressed paper. The character of these paints coupled with the coarse grain of this paper help to add to the rusty texture of the piece. /

Hi everyone, I promised to share the before and after photos of the BIG SHAVE, so here goes : well i started the day with longish hair, and was kinda nervous: / Went to the Hairdressers at around 11, and was greated by a lovely lady Rachel who i think was just as nervous as i was lol i think this was the hardest first cut that she’s ever had to do / And yes she used proper clippers in the beginning, it felt kinda nice they kept trying to get me to keep some of it, but all i could think about was that must be the definition of a bad hair day this is not the a pretty sight, if you are sensitive please close your eyes lol OH yes there is truth in the myth of the FAT HEAD lol Dont know if anyone remembers the weird British comedy called the Baldy Man, well think i can audition for the female version I felt for Racheal she was concentrating soo hard im sure shes been doing her job for years, but she was soo careful and gentle with me and the almost finished product …TA! DAH! it feels soo cool but theres still fuzz there me tinks we need the RAZOR! so it was off to the sink and the blue shaving cream… BLUE SHaving cream i thought it was SUPPOSED TO BE PINK AHHHH nice ….. now im totally at Racheals mercy I wonder if Buddah had to go through this well at least its a smilling Ball ;) we had to do the back twice cause stubbon hair just didnt want to go away there was alot of nervous laughing going on all around the home straight is in sight :) ok by now im getting a little tired of the camera lol All wrapped up ready for the Final reveal DRUM ROLE PLEEEEAAASEE… TAH DAH ! oops is that a grimace or a laugh lol Well i think maybe i can get used to this And the final touch little pink bows all over my head for Breast cancer and here ends my fair tale… in all seriousness though thank you all for your support, i can honestly say, being without my hair has to be one of the scariest things ive ever done… so i cant imagine what it would feel like if i was not well at the same time. My heart goes out to all those Strong People both men and woman who have to fight this battle every day, i will treasure this experience for the rest of my life. Thank you to all of you for your support HUGS XXX Namaste’ Love Jilli
