Serge Gay Jr. Hair Dress. Edition Size: 21. 13 x 16 inch Glclee on 330gsm 100% cotton rag paper. $45. San Francisco, the city that painter and video artist Serge Gay currently calls home, is one that builds and rebuilds itself constantly on its foundations. Earthquakes, we imagine, make that a necessity. We like to imagine Hair Dress as his loving tribute to the place; and since the hills of a rolling landscape can be (and frequently are) likened to the beauty of a woman's form, why not see one lofty elevation as a diadem of domiciles crowning a lovely head. It's a visual metaphor. It's a dream image. Perhaps it's even the foundation for any number of pleasant dreams and possibilities.
