Barber Shop Series

The Barber Shop Series is inspired by those places men go to get shaves and their hair cut.  While waiting to be serviced, and later in the chair, customers share an environment ripe with conversation, political views, and perspectives on every day events.  Some men visit their shop weekly or bi-weekly, making it a communal space.
