The Story Behind Tiff Massey’s '7 Mile + Livernois'
Large-scale sculptures of hair barrettes, hot combs, picks, and jewelry make up this groundbreaking exhibition at an award-winning Detroit institute. Upon entering a room of Tiff Massey’s new exhibit at the Detroit Institute of Arts, you’re immediately enraptured. “Tiff Massey: 7 Mile + Livernois” by the Detroit-bred artist is an awe-inspiring experience.
