Using the same fake hair that coiffed King Kong and Chewbacca, preparators at the American Museum of Natural History are finalizing their newest model, Zach Helfand writes.
The other day, up in the museum’s fifth-floor studio, MacPhee was inspecting a mammoth of his own creation. He is curating an exhibition, “The Secret World of Elephants,” that called for the construction of a life-size mammoth model. MacPhee, who has brown-and-silver hair and a matter-of-fact disposition, had come to check on one of the trickiest parts of the installation: the hair. Another preparator, Celeste Carballo, who wore a blue jumpsuit, was applying hairy tufts with a hot-glue gun.
“A huge extinct orang.” Carballo did the dye job herself. “I pretty much spent the summer painting hair, cutting hair, prepping hair, and separating hair,” she said. She’d arranged the shades on carts, a hirsute painter’s palette: Conan orange, Beyoncé ombré, Gosling dirty blond. “I would show them to Ross, and he would help me edit and figure out, like, this tone is right, this is not, this is too Trumpy,” she said. “The mammoths were not any one color,” MacPhee said.
