Art tranformed into funky haircut

An artist from Somerset won a sculpture contest at the Royal West of England Academy in Bristol which was then transformed by a Reflections hairdresser into a funky hair cut.

Chris Dunseath, from Hinton St George, won £1,500 for his piece, called Four Light Traps, which was made from paper, cherry, lime and ash wood.

Chris's work has featured previously on BBC Radio 4 and lists ancient Egyptian art as an influence.

Reflections' Company Art Director, Kelly McCarthy, made the piece into a haircut in front of a live audience.

Kelly, 30, who assisted with the selection of the winning piece, spent six weeks planning and designing the project.

"This partnership has provided a really exciting opportunity and I have found it an inspiring experience - its definitely got our creative juices flowing," she said.
