She Was a Hairy Bear, She Was a Scary Bear

The unique collection of drawings, paintings and photographs that make up She Was A Hairy Bear, She Was A Scary Bear provide a loosely autobiographical account of creator Louisa Bermingham’s idiosyncratic relationship with the world.Using her seemingly inconsequential but deeply resonant protagonist, created using her own hair, to explore themes of power, beauty, self-esteem, responsibility, acceptance, conformity, loneliness and happiness, she takes readers on a surprising, often humorous journey through contemporary womanhood.
