STRAY HAIR + BLOOD PORTRAITS

Stray Hair is the first installation in Kim Morgan’s ongoing Dust Disruptors project: a series of
mobile inflatable objects of varying forms and sizes constructed out of Sylpoly fabric printed
with enlarged scanning electron microscope (SEM) images. The images are derived from dust
and ash samples taken from human bodies and their immediate environment. Animated by air
(fans/wind), helium, and/or human interaction, the Dust Disruptors may be encountered over
the coming weeks in different formats and locations (including online). Watch out!
Location: grassy median across from the Marion McCain Building, 6135 University Avenue
Hours: Thursday 6-10 PM; Friday 6-10 PM; Saturday 6-11:30 PM, weather permitting.

Intended to intrigue, provoke wonder, and prompt questions about the meaning, use, and

nine large photographic discs of magnified blood samples donated by specific individuals, and a
