This piece is inspired by the Tignon Laws of New Orleans. The Tignon laws were put in place in Louisiana in 1789 as a part of what was called the Bando du buen gobierno (Edict for Good Government). These rules were meant to curtail the growing influence of the free black population and keep the social order of the time. The edict included sections specifically about changing what the ruling class deemed unacceptable behaviors of the free black women in the colony. One of the behaviors was the personal choice of hair style which the ruling class deem overly ostentatious. The hair styles were believed to be create by the free women to draw the attention of white men, and the jealousy of white women. In response the “Tignon Laws” were created and in some regards are still in effect today in New Orleans. A tignon (pronounced “tiyon”) is a headdress

Epaul Julien Artist Statement "If you wish to get hold of the invisible, you must penetrate as deeply as possible into the visible." M. Beckmann Artist Statement Epaul Julien has been creating art for the past 20 years. He continually pushes the boundaries of photography, painting, and mixed media by intermixing and experimenting with new techniques. In his latest work, Epaul freely repurposes original photographic imagery and extant images from other sources. He draws, paints, cuts, and pastes using many materials to create a new perspective of reality. The work represents the physical world but also the metaphysical aspects of reality. The dynamic spectacles establish a sense of adventure combined with symbolism that leads to new ways of experiencing the world. The energy captured in hyperbole gives the work a fresh and critical perspective. Epaul tries to suspend the meaning of each image and let the viewer create their reality. The purpose of each piece is determined by the viewer, who, like the artist, struggles with certain fundamentals of life in hopes of eventually finding harmony and balance. Epaul believes that how the viewer interprets the piece becomes a reality for that person.
