thewingassignment: “The launch party was sparkling and brilliant.” A rainy night in Tooley Street, London did not deter the bountiful crowd that visited The Wing Assignments’ opening night and launch party at Red Bull Studios on Friday 21st Sept. While Red Bull and spirits flowed from the bar, guests enjoyed the winged delights on display including the ‘Fledgling’ on the wing-adorned swing accompanied by the vintage/electro beats by Jonathan Bongly. Quoting our guests and artists: “One of the best private views I have attended, an excellent atmosphere and great work, highly recommended!” “Tonight was right up there with other life changing events such as the birth of my son. An incredible event!” “Beautifully hung, really well organised and a brilliant first night!!” A big thank you to all of those that attended!

Shaun McGrath

Artwork: SIDEWAYS AND DUCK

Materials: 16 mallard duck wings, 300 spare flank feathers, foam, wire mesh, glue

Wing: Open Mallard

Created for The Wing Assignment: May 2012

Shaun McGrath is Creative Director at Willis B Salons in London. WIth a history of making interesting wigs in the past, he has an affinity for combining his professional skills with hair, with his artistic ideas. Previous wigs have included a safety pin bob, and a paper plane crew cut.

His submission into the Wing Assignment is designed to blur the line between art and hair. The piece is a wearable wig, bringing the texture of the feathers together with hair pieces interspaced throughout the piece. But as well as being a wig, the piece is a sculpture, embodying a sense of grandeur and presence. The essence of nature within the genre of hair and fashion.
