Paradox of Control (2025)
This project explores Hepner’s personal experience of trichotillomania (a disorder characterised by compulsive hair pulling) and draws parallels between the disorder and modern anxieties surrounding rapidly evolving emergent technologies, digital fatigue, and personal health in the digital age.
The exhibition is accompanied by an essay by Gabrielle Hall-Lomax, artist and Curator, photo access.
The works in this exhibition were created with support from ACT Government Arts Activities Funding.
