Freshly cast Garamont is a winner, printed over landscape created with bubble wrap. Text begins Percy Bysshe Shelley’s seductive poem “Love’s Philosophy,” used to explore our love affair with plastic.

Hair’s buffness comes from its structure, Yang explains. “You might [use an] example of the Russian matryoshka doll,” she says. “Inside the biggest doll (the hair), there are millions or more of the smaller dolls.” Those smaller dolls are tiny protein chains. They’re contained within an area called the cortex. The chains are layered together and covered with an outer coating called the cuticle (KEW-tih-kul). “The cuticle looks like a fish scale,” Yang says. It holds the protein bundles of the cortex together.
