Melanie Bilenker (born 1978) is an American craft artist from New York City who lives and works in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania.[1] Her work is primarily in contemporary hair jewelry.[2] In 2010 she received a Pew Fellowship in the Arts.[3] Bilenker uses her own hair to "draw" images of contemporary life and self-portraits. The use of hair is an attempt at showing the person, and the moments left or shed behind.[4][5]
