Threesquared Is Back: Rebecca Drolen Exhibit Opens March 29

"Drainage," Rebecca Drolen

To call Wedgewood-Houston's Chestnut Square building drafty would be an understatement, and so the galleries there often take winter months off. The last show exhibited at Threesquared, the gallery Sara Estes runs out of Dane Carder's Chestnut Square studio, was

Shelby Shadwell's Auniversal Pictures

last November. But next weekend they'll host their first opening of 2014: Artist

Rebecca Drolen

will show work from her series Hair Pieces. From the press release:

Hair Pieces investigates the fickle relationship people have with their body hair. From shameful to desirable, our feelings about hair are often surreal. These images critique the ways in which society influences which hair in which places are alluring or grotesque, which has evolved significantly throughout history. Drolen received her MFA in photography from Indiana University in 2009. Before joining Belmont in 2013, she served as a Faculty Fellow at the University of Georgia and as an assistant professor at Michigan State University.

Look through images of the Hair Pieces series after the jump.
